My friend had his birthday dinner here last night sat 3/22/08. There were 15 of us and apparently were invisible. The first of us arrived 5 ppl and were seated at our table. The first 3 people i asked for wine menus couldn't understand what i was saying-a tiny bit of english would be helpful in a restaurant. Our waitress was taking one drink order, leaving, getting the drink, come back, take another order and so on 5 of us. After our whole party was seated it took about 20 minutes for us to get water and menus and that was only because several of us had to ask. The bartender had no idea how to make a a cocktail ie greygoose on the rocks with a splsh of water was served to me in a highball glass with 2 pieces of ice mostly water no straw no garnish- my boyfriends makers on the rocks was also served in a highball with water-why? i dont know. She also served rotten/brown olives in my friends martini. If go here and you see the btender has long blonde hair speak very slowly to her so she gets it. The manager was about 80 years old and had no clue what was going on. How you can manage a place and allow 15 people to have to repeatedly ask for water, wheres our waitress, more bread-is beyond me. I understand waitresses have sections but when you see 15 people trying to get the attention of someone, i know we're not your table but please dont stand there with your arms folded across your chest starring at us. I bartend in w hollywd and i dont want to be there half the time either but i give great service. After we finished eating blah food that when delivered was shouted out to us 'who had the lamb?' seriously? im not at Astroburger at 3am our bill $900. We were then going to order 1 more drink but the bartender was sitting r stuffing her face. We split the bill to 3 credit cards and we had to get up and physically walk to the back of the restaurant to hand her the check book because she was sitting slumped over on a table next to the bar
Pros: i got to leave
Cons: service, management, food, bartender
