"With tix to Zumanity that we had to pick up 2hrs before the show started, we asked our friend- who's worked at NYNY for several years- where we should grab dinner. He said the only place he'd really recommend is Il Fornaio; otherwise, he advised us to take the walkway to MGM. Due to the weather, we opted for Il Fornaio. We got waters & the bread/olive oil- it took at least 20min to get the balsamic & straws to go with. The appetizer came out in decent time & was pretty scrumptious. It then seemed to take forever to get our entr\u00E9e orders in. When we got them, they were so scalding hot that we had to wait another 15min to dig in. Neither dish- at 18.99/ea.- was impressive. &, once again, our waiter was MIA. From finishing our food to the next time we saw him was another 15-20min so we were afraid to order dessert, since we were now cutting it close on time. Which we told him. Which he acknowledged so he got our bill in a much more timely manner. Then disappeared again! A good 15 more min went by before someone came to fetch our plastic to pay. Atmosphere: bland. Service: sucks. Food: lackluster. Seriously, just eat at Nathan's hotdogs upstairs."^^ . "2012-08-12T00:00:00"^^ . .
