Last night my husband and I went to dinner with another couple and were very disappointed with the experience. Upon entering the restaurant that had a-lot of empty tables we were brought to a table in the back directly beside a party of around eight...with small children, who were crying. Being discreet I asked the hostess prior to being seated if we could sit at a different table. She did not appear to be pleased and sat us at the table right next to the servers busy counter. Beside our table was a broom, dust pan and bucket. The table top was so loose the if you leaned on it your drink shook and spilled. Our server was a young man that may have been new to the job but was very pleasant. The food was mediocre. We had appetizers, prime rib, steak, perch and linguine with shrimp. The linguine was swimming in a watery sauce but had lots of shrimp. Our bill was over 3 hundred dollars and I tipped the waiter 20% after I pointed out the issue with the table, placement to the broom and bucket and the seating. Again he was pleasant. When asked if the many other open tables were reserved he stated “no it is a slower evening.” Typically I do not mind sitting next to a family group enjoying their time out but last night we wanted a little space from crying children in a restaurant that allowed us to hear each other at our table. We are in our early 60’s and have been there done that. This is the first review that I have ever written on any restaurant.More
