| - Well if not for the rudeness of the main man Ben (I think that is his name) it would have been a 5 star review.
This is our third time there. First time that we went we had server Rene, he was the best. Next was a female, I don't know her name, she was nice, but not the caliber of Rene. This time back to service from Rene. I took a friend there for his birthday. We ate way too much, we got the shrimp cocktail and calamari for apps. They were both really good. The shrimp were huge but for 4 pieces, not really worth $16. The calamari was super. It was light, and cooked perfectly.
For entrees, my friend got the chicken Francaise. It was melt in your mouth good. I mean superb. I got something called Gemolata de Beverly Hills, or something close to that. It was really good pasta dish with chicken, olives and more, but next time I'm getting the chicken francaise.
Anyways, super great time, the only downer was that the main guy, the guy obviously in charge that walks around and sees how tables are doing.... I think his name is Ben as he has pictures on the wall where you come in with different guests and one guy signed it to Ben. Well we were a table of 2. He walked by, never slowed, never really gave a cr** about us and twice just sort of threw out a "how ya doing". Well it didn't really matter how we were doing as he was past our table without slowing before any answer could possibly come out. We were only a table of two, although after dinner and drinks, tax n tip we had spent $130. You'd think he could have taken a minute out of his day to make us feel welcomed. He spent 4 or 5 minutes at the tables that were 4 people, 5 people. Also spent a good bit of time, and in several visits with a table just two over from us in the corner. It was a table of 3. An elderly guy, a young guy, and a woman. He kept going back and spending all kinds of time with them. Maybe they write his check, maybe he wants to sell them a car, maybe he wanted a date (just trying to give excuses as to why he was so rude to us and so kiss their bu**s to them) Also with the table of two in the same room that he obviously knew. In the adjoining room about 5 minutes laughing and talking with a table of 5 or 6. Just made us feel like even though we were spending a lot of money, that we weren't anything to him but money.
I'd say that even though I love the food, don't go if you are only a table of two. As ben will in his own way make you feel less than accepted. If you are a large group or know him, then do go if just a table of two as ben will cater to you. He really should treat all tables well, too bad he doesn't.
If you do go, Rene is the best server.
If it helps any management reading this, we were there at 5:30pm, 9/24/16, table 11.
