I have been to Osteria three times since its opening. Twice I have dined at the bar because it is ridiculously impossible to get a table. On both occasions while dining at the bar the bartenders have been completely miserable and just simply rude. Their lack of dining etiquette and poor service is completely appalling considering it is a ""MARC VETRI"" establishment. A friend who recently had dinner there experienced the same rudeness from the same bartender. One would think at $180.00 for dinner for two people, at the bar nonetheless, that the staff could at least be pleasant to you. One redeeming quality was the female sommelier who was outstanding with her wine recommendations. She very pleasant and hospitable - SHOCKING!
