I had a HORRIBLE experience at Peasant...this restaurant was the perfect example of what how one should NEVER be treated when dining out. Went with 3 friends, started with a nice bottle of wine. Service began very well, the menu is in Italian, so the waiter came over and went over the whole menu with us. We order 3 apps and a pizza, as well as the ""Pork"" pulled off the bone as our entrees. The apps were fine...nothing to write home about. The Pizza was actually quite good. Unfortunately, when our entrees came, 3 of the 4 diners thought the pork tasted strange. When we finally got our waiters attention - and explained to him we were unhappy with our entrees, his demeanor changed completely, he took our dishes and walked away without taking another order for us or asking if he could get us anything else. Then...2 mins. later, he came back (with plates still on his arm) and told us that he would put another order in for us if we liked but that he couldn't take these entrees off our bill. We asked to speak to the manager - who informed us that this was ""Milk fed Succulent Pig"" and that there was nothing wrong with the dish and therefore would not be able to take it off the bill. He had the nerve to argue with us for about 5 mins. about this before we finally became irrate and told him we were not going to pay for dishes that we did not eat. In the end, they got us other entrees, which took about 1/2 hour to come out. While waiting, we could see the chef talking to our server, and shouting about ""those fu*&ing idiots"" - which was very clear that he was talking about the guest who sent back the dishes. Overall - it was a horrible dining experience and I'm sorry that we spent over $300 to be treated the way we were.
