I dined at Balance recently with some friends. To begin with, we were seated next to a loud large party, even though the dining room was empty when we arrived.
Our server was aggressive, inattentive, condescending and in a hurry -- even though we were the only table he was serving. Our waiter too eagerly cleared the lobster bisque that one of my companions ordered -- even though he'd not finished eating it.
In addition, the plates were not presented to the correct guests; the server speed poured our bottle of wine; he threw the dessert menus on the table and then when asked for a check gave the check to the youngest member of the party aged 14.
Pros: Attractive space, Generous Portions
Cons: Poor Service, Expensive, Poor wine list
