Outstanding food, Frustrating, rude service
Thursday, July 24, 2008
Tonight I ate at Perry Street with my husband and also my brother visiting from out of town. We arrived to a nearly empty restaurant excited to return, as my husband and I had eaten a wonderful meal here last summer. As soon as we sat down, the waiter asked us what we wanted to drink, which was fine. However, we asked for the wine list and two minutes later while all looking at the wine list together, he asked what wine we wanted. After asking for a moment to make a decision, he quickly returned impatient for us to make up our minds. We selected a wine and immediately he asked what we wanted for dinner. He seemed quite irritated when we requested a little more time (but yet brought us the wrong bottle of wine). By the way, we ordered our dinner and wine by 6:10 after being seated at 6:00, yet this did not appear soon enough for him. The entire meal was rushed, and in addition, the waiter did not bring us the petits fours that every other table around us received. It is such a shame the waiter was so rude because the wine list is nice and the food is absolutely delicious, the char appetizer was fresh, the asparagus salad was flavorful and the short ribs were so tender. Enjoy the food, but be ready to race through a 3 course meal in just over an hour.
Pros: Food, atmosphere
Cons: SERVICE
