Bummer that I have to give this location three stars. My girlfriends and I came here last night, and it was my first time checking out this particular location. I went to Central last week, loved it, and thought I'd be in love with this spot too. Nope.
Definite five stars for the food - the best bruschetta I've ever had and a bottle of wine for $20? You can never beat that.
Three stars for the service. They were slammed, and I understand that. However, the waitress wasn't friendly. My girlfriend was trying to place her order and the waitress blatantly ignored her to talk to a guy at another table. We didn't even have silverware or napkins at our table and she didn't bring any when we asked her.
One star for valet. Central location offers complimentary valet and Arcadia charges three dollars. That's fine, but I didn't have cash on me and asked the guy to return my car so I can park it myself. He STILL charged me and said something along the lines of, "The owner makes us charge everyone - liability reasons." Uh, what? My car wasn't even in your lot for more than 30 seconds! Anyway, tacky.
Central location has my vote and my five stars.
