We visited Barchetta as a last-minute Valentine's Day dinner with friends. The location on the Intracoastal is beautiful and we were hopefully expecting a pleasant dinner. Wrong. Our server apparently got annoyed with us for not deciding on our food selections fast enough so he deserted us for a good 45 mins. We noticed that a lot of the tables around us were also waiting VERY long times for service and saw at least two tables leave without ever receiving their meals. We overheard the waitstaff say that the kitchen was backed up so they were not to take any more orders for an hour!!!! While we were waiting, our waiter brought us a round of unordered drinks; when we informed him that we did not want them and would not pay for them he said it's ok, just drink them. We were later charged for them! After we were finally able to order our food came out for only 3 of the four of us ... our friend waited 30 mins for his dinner while the the rest of the table waited with cold food. N
