Boston celebrates the restaurant week to pay respect to the world class restaurateurs in town and Bostonians who makes them better. Tonight, I had the WORST experience of dinning in my entire life. When my best friend and I walked into the restaurant, we had no hostess greeting us. After 20 mins of waiting, we were seated at the table of six with five other people, creating a harmonious table for seven. On the menu, we were puzzled by extra costs for adding side dishes to preselected and priced meal. Later while taking the last bite of not-so-fresh duck, my unnamed (never introduced himself) asked if he could take my dish away (not asking if I am finished). I am still going out to another restaurant tomorrow night to participate in this wonderful celebration and thank many good people in Boston restaurant scene. I have been to the Rialto a couple of times before, but the truth is quality never lived up to my expectations. I hope the Rialto management will realize the true quality of excellent dinning is often felt as walking away from the restaurant receiving thanks from friends whom I had invited for a night of outing to create a life time memory.
