I often meet friends at Meskerem because the kitfo and tibs are out of this world. We love the atmosphere and the location, and it's quickly becoming a tradition for us. However, the last three times we have dined at Meskerem, the service has been appalling--even insulting. We've had the same server for the past three visits, and each time she has been rude, forgetful, and downright snippy. She forgets to put in orders, leaves parts of them out (and our orders are very simple), and forgets drinks entirely. It's hard for me to understand why this happens, as we're easy customers who are pleasant and tip well. I do love Meskerem and would like to continue dining there, but that waitress has got to go. If you're there, avoid the lady with the pinned-up hair and nose ring--trust me!
Pros: Wonderful food, fascinating new wall decor, great location
Cons: Rude, dismissive service
