Review content:
Our experience here was horrific.
I'll start with why I use such strong language. Toward the end of dinner, my girlfriend decides to use the restroom. The rest of us eat our desert.
After a while, we start wondering where my girlfriend was. She had been gone a while.
She comes back nearly in tears. She explains that while she was downstairs, a bus boy groped her. She tells the owner about this, and his response is, ""I'll have a talk with him.""
After nothing is done, I demand to speak to the owner. In the interim, several employees apologize to us about what happened. I'm still demanding to see the owner.
After about a half hour, the owner comes upstairs. In a nutshell, he accuses my girlfriend of lying, conducts his own ""investigation"" wherein he determines the bus boy did nothing and says that there's nothing that could be done.
After being dissatisfied with his response (amidst having to hear that we were being rude for bringing up the fact that my girlfriend was inappropriately touched by one of his employees) , I ask this buffoon whether he would like me to call the police. He urges me, ""they're right next door.""
We exit the restaurant and I call the police. Now, the idiot wants to talk to me. At this point, I tell him, ""you had your chance to resolve it; you basically had no interest; hopefully the police can help; goodbye.""
The police promptly arrive and arrest the employee for criminal sexual contact. It was amazing how the only English the employee knew was the alleged alibi the owner had told us, i.e., he couldn't have done this because he had dishes in his hand. The employee had no problem uttering these words, but apparently, ""Hi, my name is...."" was too difficult for him--that required an interpreter.
Long story short, an absolutely disastrous night out.
With respect to the food, it was average at best. We order four separate appetizers for the table, only two of which were any good. The veal I ordered as my entree was rubbery. I couldn't enjoy my desert because that's when the above happened.
One of the worst wastes of $300 per couple that I've ever experienced. The only positive from the place is the decor; very classy. Too bad the class from this place ends there. Don't go. There are far better Italian restaurants.
