| - On a weekend vacation with several travel companions, the concierge at our hotel arranged for the six of us to eat at this restaurant on a Friday night. They had our reservation but didn't have a table setting ready when we arrived on time. Not a big deal, we had a nice table in the center of the restaurant. Far enough away from the piano player that we could have a nice conversation. The musician was great but I could tell tables next to him were having trouble conversing.
The meals were great. No one had a bad word to say... but let's get that out of the way.
The service, on the other hand, was mixed. I realize that modifying an item, with special requests, is a delicate issue. But the waiter's reaction was almost a conniption fit. Seriously. He didn't know what to right down... yes, he had to write it down.
Honestly, I wouldn't have written this review until the last experience of the evening. Traveling internationally, we weren't going to pay for each other's meals. It comes with the fact that we're just a group of friends. In Canada, that translated into a credit card device being passed around the table after the waiter said, "Guys, this is ridiculous" (or something equally offensive) when we wanted to split the bill equally.
It was offensive and beyond belief.
