We decided to return for New Years with a few friends, becasue of the amazing food that we got on my 31st birthday over the summer. We were disaointed from the moment we got in the door at 7:30 pm. Service was horrible, the server did not have a good understanding of the drinks we ordered, ie- a dirty gin martini- pretty basic, but it was made with vodka and no olive juice. We were given aproximately 3 minutes from the time our drinks were brought to us to see if we were ready to order- which open menus and no copnversation at our table should signify we werenn't ready. Once our orders were taken we had to sit in utter agany and listen to horrible 8o0's satelite music. We were disapointed that the beautiful decor was not matched by more appropritae music. We were also disapointed that Tum Rup was not offering anytype of New Years drink specials or a complimentary glass of champagne- in fact non of the servers, hostess' even mentioned the fact that it was new years eve. I could tell that some others seated around us were disapointed as well, some of even felt overdressed. OUr food was not nealry as flavorful as our first experience, in fact two of our guests stopped eating their food it was so undesireable. my pad thai was somewhat cold and appeared to have more bean sprouts and garnish than noodles and chicken. Although the room was not packed, our server seemed to disapear- infact she did'nt even bring our food, and the only time we saw her again was when we flagged her down for our bill. We each only had one drink, because we couldn't get anyone's attention long enough to oder another. In total 4 people each had one drink, two split appetizers and 4 entree's. Our bill was a little over $100.
