So-So food - poor ambiance (too LOUD!!)
Tuesday, May 10, 2005
So this is the fourth in the "Bluewater Bistro" chain, and it just opend in May 05 in Belltown. The interior is nice, the staff seemed helpful, and the food was well, just ok. I had the stuffed porkchop which came out chewy and dry and with a tart glaze of unknown origin. The mash potatoes were great tho and generous. Here's what I didn't like. It was a saturday night and the place was full to capacity, however, they had their stereo on with some acid jazz (poor I might add) blaring to add "ambiance" in someone's mind. The problem was we were in a open table and I could not hear anything from the other side of the table (I have normal hearing). I asked our food server if she could turn it down, she said she would see what she could do. Evidently "nothing" could be done as no change was made. Why this was especially irksome was the music was adding nothing to room, as it was full of people and the ambient noise level was high already. I can understand adding some music at lesser capacity to add some privacy and zing to the place, but this was completly unnecessary. I plan to write a letter to the management soon.
