We loved the ambiance at Vagabond the first time and were sure we'd love it the second, but it was an imperfect experience at best. The food was well prepared and each dish sampled met with our enthusiastic approval, save for something called a ""caesar salad""--quite un-caesar in presentation and content. Who has ever had a caesar with chopped bacon and tomatoes? But the arrogance of our waiter took the pleasure out of the evening, especially when he slammed down our bill without offering dessert or coffee or even saying, ""Thank you...""--common protocol for acceptable service. The manager apologized: ""We usually have to move people out fast,"" he said. Unacceptable, dear Vagabond. Perhaps being a ""hot spot"" for dining has gone to its head.
Pros: ambiance, food preparation
Cons: an arrogant waiter
