| - Holy Terrible. My boyfriend and I went to the restaurant for a special occasion and boy was it an occasion. At first glance, the menu looked quite lovely. Lots of options for a lady with some dietary needs & a date with a healthy appetite. Now, we have become quite addicted to both top chefs going on right now, but I don't think it took a genius to realize the *&^# food we were served that night. It also took approx 15 mins before we were served.
The hostess stood at the front of the restaurant scratching her newly waxed lady area. And simply acted unprofessional the entire evening. I switched seats so I wouldn't have to watch her anymore. Yuck. Second, the manager stood in the front lobby with a mitt full of cash (the gold ones) like she was some sort of baller. Again, super unprofessional. Third, servers congregated around our table to discuss others in the restaurant. Yes, talk about us, but not where others can hear. Three strikes before our appies even arrived.
Appies: sesame seed crusted tuna. bland. boring. and no sesame seeds in sight. yawn. next. crab cakes from a frozen bag of awful. $20+ dollars worth of terribleness.
Mains: Steak for 32 ridiculous dollars. again, not inspired at all. the cut of meat was atrocious. the beets were nice. that is it. tandoori shrimp with a side of bland, cooked in a sock rice.
I don't normally complain - esp when we were about to pay with a gift card but something had to be said for the bubble wrap shrimp and the terrible rice. The server, who was lovely, insisted on replacing the meal, but I was half way through and not interested in taking the gamble on another dish. She obviously took the meal off the bill. Thanks. Points back to you.
She got a nice tip.
Panorama has a terrible vibe. I will never return to eat there. I'd rather pay out the nose at the Hyatt for a city view.
shame shame shame.
we were going to stay for dessert, but decided to spend our cash elsewhere. See my next post for where I had my actual meal.
