Great food and ambience. Terrible service. We waited five minutes for someone to approach our table and it was the busboy. Fine. He brought ice water. Another five minutes passed and a waitress came by. Ok. We ordered a glass of wine and a beer. That took nearly ten minutes to be delivered. She was pretty useless in navigating the great looking menu. We were on our own. She either doesn't like Indian food or has no opinions, recommendations, knowledge or enthusiasm. We ordered well - maybe just lucky. Frankly I bet everything that comes out of that kitcheon is great. FTR - We ordered the lamb curry and shrimp Marsala.
The food came out quickly and was delicious. First rate and the restaurant is lovely. We ate our wonderful meal and decided to order coffee and desert. We waited. No one bussed our table (ever) and we never saw the waitress again for ten minutes. We finally decided to get ice cream cones at a shop next door. However we still didn't have our check. After demanding that the waitress bring me my check, I had to get it from the busboy - our hero. The waitress acts like her guests are nuisances and she is doing us a favor to be there. My guess is that she's a long unemployed humanities major that resents waiting tables. Probably recently divorced and still bitter. She doesn't belong in the service industry!!! The owner/manager appeared confused and out of her depth. I suggested that since her kitcheon rocked, she should tighten up the table service. All she could do was apologize repeatedly. I don't want an apology just attentive professional service.
Please don't miss the fact that the food was great. You just may need to wade through and wait out the unprofessionals in the front of the house.
