Not Impressed at all. 5/18/2010

The service was very very rushed. very loud hard to have a conversation.\r \r I've noticed a lot of glowing reviews here about this place , I wonder what's to stop the staff members from writing them, themselves? They all seem to follow negative reviews... seems a bit suspicious too me. Why would anyone put any faith whatsoever in something so obviously not credible.\r There is a fine line between efficient, and overbearing. Here we found neither...when wine glasses are removed before you are finished, when plates are taken when only some at the table are finished the course, and when on three occasions the wait staff had to be told a guest was still eating ,the service comes under the category of overbearing. when charging city prices I expect city service. when taking us to our table from the bar area have a staff member carry our glasses!!!!! We found we were rushed to finish.\r The most notable findings was the decor, which is very lovely and chic but the noise level was overbearing . We could not have a conversation. If you want an intimate place to dine, this isn't it. We wanted to take our time and wait before ordering but the waiter who was very pushy didn’t allow us to. He kept asking over and over again “are you ready yet” Yet I had to hunt down our server for drink refills. All and all, it was average at best. Waiter didn't know the menu, some portions were cold, The food was only decent, but prices, service, food, noise, were not acceptable in my opinion.\r We did not have a good experience at this restaurant. Our reservations were for 9pm and we had to wait over 30 minutes for our table. The noise was so loud you could not talk. I ordered the calamari that tasted more like chicken then fish. The fish was dry. The side dishes were good and service was only fair.. Pros: None at the restaurant, but the hotel was really nice lookin Cons: Poor service and food prep. more
