| - Before I begin this review, I'd like to let the public know this: I am generally easy to please, as far as service is concerned. That being said, I had probably the worst experience of my life at Miega.
Let me get the issues with service out of the way before discussing the food. First, It took ten minutes for receive menus after being seated, to say nothing of drinks. When we got our menus, the server dashed away from the table without asking if we needed anything, or bringing waters. We should have taken that as a sign, but we'd been told the food was good, so we decided to tough it out. Everything from then on was a chore. Getting watre and tea, refills water and tea, placing our order, receiving our order, where the f**k is our banchan, etc. The service here is a shining example of a spectacular failure.
The food was boring at best, offensively bad at worst. After waiting for about half an hour, my boyfriend and I were finally able to place our order: a seafood pancake for an appetizer, bibimbap for my main, and a spicy pork dish for his. The seafood pancake took 20-30 minutes to come out, the bibimbap followed in about 10 minutes, and the spicy pork took another 10 minutes. I felt bad for my boyfriend. The seafood pancake was pretty much inedible. What it lacked in flavor, it made up for in grease. He couldn't eat it. I was starving, so I had a couple of pieces, and was really thankful when my bibimbap came out. Well, at least until I tasted it. It was the most bland, flavorless bibimbap I'd ever had. Let's be real here: bibimbap is rice with vegetables and meat on top. How is it possible to f**k that up? Miega found a way. The gojuchang that came with it tasted like ketchup. Disgusting. My boyfriend was still waiting for his pork, looking hungry and cranky. When it finally came out, it was missing a pretty crucial component: rice! It took about five minutes to flag down a server to ask. Then we waited, and waited, and asked again, and waited.... The rice never showed up. Who serves a stir fried dish without rice? The dish itself was as bland as everything else, and doused in that same ketchupy gojuchang. By this point, my boyfriend didn't even care... he was just happy to finally have some food in front of him.
Oh, and did I mention this place is friggin' expensive? $45 for lunch for two.
To summarize: We were there for two hours, had the most inattentive service of our lives, had a really bad lunch, and still had to drop nearly $50.
Bummer.
