Very Disappointed 8/17/2006

Had a wonderful dinner here last year - came back with high expectations. First, we were seated in the ""newly completed dining area"" - this is basically a rectagular room with no windows and minimal decor. A large party was in the back of this room and they were quite loud (the acoustics of the bare room didn't help), so we asked the hostess to reseat us in the ""old' seating area. The hostess seated us at a nice 4 top table near the windows. Our waitress came over to our table and informed us that we were at a table that was normally for a party of 4, and asked us to move out of her section! She was not in the slightest bit polite - clearly she was miffed by the prospect of missing out on the extra tips that two more diners would have brought, her demeanor was surly and unprofessional. We looked around the dining room - the rest of the tables were wedged VERY close together - our impression was that the owners had simply decided to maximize profits at the expense of repeat business - so we left. BTW - 30 minutes later we had a great italian meal at ""Pasta da Pulcinella"" (1123 Peachtree Walk) - where we were welcomed with genuine cheer - - Pros: maybe the food is still good - but there are MUCH better options Mid Town! Cons: Unprofessional wait staff, horrible seating ergonomics, new dining area poorly designed more
