Me and my girlfriend have been together for 7 years. But on our 6th year anniversary we decided to be brave and try something different. Well we heard of this "great" Italian restaurant called Paesano's on 555 E Basse Rd . So we went out of our way to make a hotel reservation near by so it would be convenient for us. We get all dressed up and take a taxi there cos we figured we would be having a blast and having some drinks. I had made reservation there as well so we wouldn't have to wait long. We get there all excited and of course as we suspected there people crowding the door and even people outside. We walk in and see a male hostess looking right at us and then look away. I didn't think nothing of it til people after us came in and he greeted them. Again I just thought it was me , then again more and more people came in and he greeted them as well. He would go up to them and ask them their name and how many. Why didn't he ask us? Cos we are two girls or cos we are not of same race or cos we didn't look like we owned a yacht? I finally went up to him and told him of our reservation and said there was 4 people ahead of us and finally took our names down. About an hour and 20 mins we get seated. So what was the point of the reservation? We get a waiter who looks like we are wasting his time. He takes our order and then walks off and starts smiling and talking to another couple. Guess we weren't good enough for his time. Then he brings us some weird looking olives. All shapes and sizes and colors. I don't know if thats what they serve in these stuck up fancy restaurants but is was gross. They give us our plates like an hour later and it looked like a child's plate. For the price I was expecting a lil more. The food was really bland and not worth the price. Our waiter rarely came to the table and when he did , he made it short and to the point and wouldn't give me time to ask for anything. We just ate and left. It was such a disappointment and a waste of a great 6th year anniversary dinner. I am never ever going to this place again. If i had the choice of putting no stars I would. They need to learn to treat their customers better and treat everyone equally! No matter race, gender, or sexual preference!
