Went to Myth last Tuesday expecting upscale casual wonders. While the design is indeed trendy and comfortable and the menu diverse and flavorful, I was shocked by the lack of detail-attention and overall rudeness of our French-Canadian waiter. What about prompt drink orders, proper silverware and understandable description of the food ?
But what spurs me to write, and dare generalize about the poor level of service at Myth, is the utter lack of class of another slovenly server who, upon our exiting the restaurant, prowled behind us in his post-service street clothes and asked us for une cigarette before admonishing us for not having any. Mon ami, this is california, not the slums of Saint-Denis !
It is deplorable that with so many excellent waiters in town, mediocre Belden Street types should spoil an otherwise elegant evening out.
