I've been to this establishment twice. The first time we did not have a reservation. We bellied up to the bar and waited, and waited and waited...eventually a table opened. I had no complaints that night. The food was lovely as was the atmosphere.
Fast forward to tonight. We had a 5:30 reservation for a birthday celebration. At 7:09 we were told that we needed to leave as the table was spoken for. Now granted we were winding down anyways, but A) this was a terrible business practice and B) yes the table was spoken for, BY US. They knew we were celebrating a birthday and did bring out a very lovely birthday surprise for the birthday girl. But for 60 bucks a plate I do not expect to be rushed out the door.
So now that we've gotten the service outta the way - onto the food, this is a restaurant after all. Well, my meal of tenderloin tips was super salty but still pleasant. The dessert (key lime pie) was really good. My dining companions had the special - a prime rib/ shrimp combo. They said the shrimp scampi was really good, but they've had better prime rib.
I'm just flummoxed, why would Beef and Bottle risk alienating customers? I sure as heck won't be back. Oh and I got sick from my meal - not sure if it was me or them, but after being rushed out the door I'm gonna say it was them! I will not be back.
