After hearing so much about this restaurant from my roommates, I decided to go have dinner there with one of my old friends from high school last week. We are both attractive ladies working in the fashion industry, I at an Italian couture fashion house and she in pr for a major department store in the city--we are very well dressed and presentable women. We arrive at this restaurant and are told by the maitre d that we would be seated in 20 minutes. Others come into the tiny restaurant while we are waiting and he offers them wine while they wait. He never asks us. Then, he proceeds to seat about 5 tables--all who arrived at the restaurant after us. I end up running into another of my friends from college, who frequents the restaurant. He proceeds to try to seat her and her friend. Fortunately, they were nice enough to give us their table after over 1 hour of our waiting. So, my friend and I go and sit down at their table. After we are comfortable and seated, I look up and see none other than the maitre d staring at me in disgust as if i were a bum off of the street that just came in and sat at his table. He instructs the bus boy with evil glares and even more horrible jestures to oust us from the table. So, after 1 hour of waiting, being rudely ignored and utterly disrespected, we were so rudely thrown out of the table that we deserved!!! With that, we left the restaurant and went to have dinner elsewhere. I will NEVER go back there again. I wouldn't give them a PENNY of my money!!!!!
