| - We came here on a weeknight with a reservation. We were immediately met with some of the worst service I've ever experienced. The hostess was such a rude human being and definitely has no place in restaurants (if you must keep her, Olivor, send her to the kitchen to wash dishes or the basement to roll her eyes at the gremlins down there instead of your customers). I walked in and told her we had a reservation and gave her my last name. This was met with a deep sigh and "OTHER name?!" So I gave her my first name, she did a quick scan of the list and obviously didn't find what she was looking for. She then just rolled her eyes and marched us to a table--eye rolling?! Come on. Why would I MAKE UP a reservation in the not-so-crowded establishment in the first place? I would have gladly stood there and helped her figure out what the mix up was, but she wasn't having it.
We waited a LONG time for our server and when he finally came, he mixed up a drink order. My dirty martini was pretty delicious, though, so I wasn't too upset. We then started seeing other tables around us getting bread baskets from the hostess and we did not. Our stomachs were growling audibly at this point, but luckily the whole place was pretty loud so we couldn't even hear them. When we finally got our drinks and food, we got a bread basket with it...I don't think that's how that is supposed to work, but oh well.
Despite the horrible service and jerks working here, the food was amazing. The mussels were good, though not the best I've ever had. The scallop salad, though, was absolutely perfect. I wasn't expecting anything large, as those types of salads tend to come in dainty little packages, but the size was filling and the scallops were spot on.
Lucky you, Olivor! The food alone brought the 1-star rating due to the crap service up to a 3 because I know I'll suffer through the humans here for another bite of the food. The whole front of the house needs restaffed and they'll be in much better shape.
