My wife and I experienced waterfire for the first time last night. We read the reviews for Cafe Nuovo made a reservation. Disappointing, maybe our experience at Ruth Cris,Capitol Grille, Camilles had our hopes, expectations too high. Food was Ok(far from the quality of the above mentioned), except for the swiss chard came with the lamb. (couldnt eat it)\r
The sevice was poor at best, our waiter (Carlos) had little too no experience in serving food or wine. we had a bottle of wine (Silver Oak 04 ) he spilled several ounces on the table before decanting. He did offer an apology for his error, ok mistakes happen, it was only the beginning of a bad service. He poored the wine only once after that, because you could see he had no experience at wine service, another waiter came to his rescue, the rest of the evening I did my own wine service for my wife and I. After our dinner was served he never visited our table for a check of our needs. I asked him as he was passing by if he had a moment, be right there, never happened. Dinner was over I mentioned my swiss chard, again he offered an apology(hes good at that)asked if we wanted coffee/dessert, my wife reponded she would like a desert menu and tea, I asked for coffee with cream, he brought the coffee with milk not cream, again apology was offered. I left a very small tip for a meal and wine cost of $281.00. I spoke with a manager about our experience on the way out, apology was offered, they are good at that as I mentioned. IMO, any of the above eating establishments I mentioned are worth considering, Cafe Nuovo nope never again. \r
