| - I was expecting this to be a grat dining experience, but was very dissapointed. The staff was unprofessional and you need a firecracker to get their attention once you order.
For a restauarant which is trying to present an upscale environment, there was much lacking. They could use some linen on the tables and could at least balance the table which rocked from side to side. When mentioning that to the waiter, he seemed unconcerned and shrugged his shoulders.
Salads were alla carte and was the smallest salad I have ever been served. It was fresh and tasty, but for the price should have been more than a taste of a salad. The bread which accompianed the salad was 3very small pieces of dried out non tasty bread the size of a quarter only a little thicker. It tasted as if it was a week old piece of bread which has sat out for the entire week. The waiter also did not seem concerned when this was mentioned.
About 1/2 hour after the salad was served, we caught the waiter to find out if our dinner was lost. He cleaned off the salad plates and procceded to remove the forks from them and set them on the table saying we would need those for dinner. We had to ask him to take away the salad forks and bring clean forks for the entre. I believe again, at this price point, that should have been done with out asking.
One of our entres was the lobster mac, that was light and delicious,
The second entre was pork butt on paperdelle noodles. This was horrible. The meat had no taste, the sauce was straight sour cream and the dish had a funny taste. Later the person who ordered this did not feel well so the left overs were thrown away for fear of food poisoning.
it took over 40 min after the entr for us to get our bill and another 15 for him to collect it. At no time did anyone inquire if we liked our dinner or if there was anything else they could get us. We were not offered dessert althogh there were some good sounding offers on the menu.
For a bill which came to $100 with a tip added in, I expect much better food and at least mediocre service, neither of which we received. I will not try this place again in the near future. I hope they can fix their many shortcomings as Medina can use a good upscale but not overly pompous restaraunt that provides excellent food. It is ok to be iventive, but they need to rethink a few things here and train the staff.
