| - *sigh* I was so sadly disappointed by Miss Things. We have been looking forward to going here for a quite a while and thought New Year's Eve would be a fun night to try it out. We booked a reservation online for 9pm. The next day we got a call to ask if we could change it to 9:30 pm and we gladly changed it because it worked better for them. When we arrived for our reservation, it was very busy and took a pretty long time to get seated. That's to be expected on New Year's Eve but the way it was handled made us feel like we were always in the way. There was a ton of people waiting for their tables and not a lot of space to wait in. When we were sat about 15 minutes later we were presented with a prix fix menu. No where on the website did it say there was a fixed menu that night (we heard other people also comment on that) but the menu sounded good so that was fine with us.
We sat at our table for almost 15 minutes with no one coming over to fill our glasses with water or take a drink menu. When a server came over we found him to be very rude. He just walked up to the table and said "ok. This is how it works. Pick one of these and one of these and that's it." Then went to walk away. No hello, nothing. We informed him that since we were there for a while we were ready to order drinks and food.
The first thing we got was a fritter or croquette or something like that. I honestly can't remember. It was good though. We were relieved that even though the service and wait had been pretty bad until this point that the food was starting off good. A couple of bites in, our second course arrived. A different waiter brought this over. Clearly seeing that we had barely even started eating he told us "well, we were behind in seating you but the kitchen already has this ready so here you go". We were 3 people at a pretty small table. It was actually ridiculous to have so much stuff on the table. There was almost no room. He told us "well you're sharing anyways so I'll put these wherever they fit". We explained we weren't sharing, and had never said we were but that didn't seem like an issue to him. Again, the food was really good. 2 of us had the lobster carpaccio and one had the fois gras. Absolutely delicious. Sadly, eating it was super annoying as we had plates over lapping and the table was so crowded.
When the server came to clear all the plates from our two courses we'd received by then he said "where are your side plates?" in a pretty annoyed sounding tone. The other server had taken them to make room for all the other plates. He actually rolled his eyes at us and left to get more side plates. I don't even know why. When the main courses arrived they were so delicious. 2 people at our table had the steak and said it was great. I had the sea bass and it was amazing. One of the best I've had actually. It was such a shame to have such yummy food and such crummy service.
The dessert was, meh. It was a trio of desserts. A passion fruit mousse which was good, a very sad almost empty profiterole with a chocolate sauce and rum cake that we found to be very dry. We all felt like maybe one thing would have been better than a trio of things.
Anyways, long story short the food was very good. The service, awful. From the hostess to the servers. No one asked if we wanted more cocktails, or even really seemed to care that we choose to spend New Years there. The only time we got some sort of interaction from our server was when we had paid the bill. The feeling we got was "great, thanks for the money, bye." We really want to go back and try items of the normal menu, but I just don't know if we will be able to if that was an indicator of the normal service level. I'm really not hard to please at all. I felt like we were a burden for just coming in and having dinner. I know it was super busy and New Years, and probably stressful for the staff but all we were really looking for was a "hello. How are you? Happy new year!" Anything. Food: 4.5 stars, service: 1 star.
