Mediocre service doesn't live up to reputation
Saturday, February 19, 2005
As someone who makes restaurant recommendations and reservations for a living- I have a complaint about Wild Ginger. What is the deal with the hostesses? They seem to be the only restaurant in their price bracket that has a consistenly disorganized host staff. They are not particularly polite, or helpful either on the phone or in person. One would think that the busiest restaurant in Seattle would make a good first impression by making patrons feel welcome and attended to- not in-the-way and forgotten. Outside of this, the Wild Ginger experience is typically a good one, the service staff is polite, sometimes even friendly, and proficent. Lets not forget that food is great at lots of downtown restaurants, but bad service can leave a bad taste. I have decided to gently steer my patrons toward restaurants where I feel confident about their entire experience not just parts of it.
Pros: the food, luchtime, the duck!
Cons: service
