My family and I ate at Kyma last week and had one of the most offensive dining experiences I?ve ever suffered through. It all began with a 45 minutes wait after showing up promptly for our reservations. During this time, a waiter from the bar took our drink orders, yet refused to provide a wine list because ""it is Greek, and you will not understand it"". As I suspected, the wines he selected were $16 a glass. The night only got worse when we were seated, what seemed to be inside the kitchen, where my mother's chair was mercilessly bumped by every passing waiter. I won't bother detailing the other 27 things that went wrong, from the pushy waiter to the mediocre, burnt, and over-priced food; however, the coup de grace came at the end of the evening, after 15 minutes of waiting for the valet to retrieve our car, I was forced to help him first find the keys, then locate the car in the parking lot. Believe me, the bad food was the smallest of Kyma?s problems.
