Upon arriving to the restaurant, there was no public parking. Luckily, there was a spot in the back of the restaurant where I put my car. ($6+ saved). Inside the restaurant we were greeted by 2 people, neither of which showed us to our table. ... We had reservations. But we WERE seated.\r
\r
Now, I'm 27... took my fiancee, and our 2 friends out for a birthday. I have a real job. Not some hourly do-nothing with a nametag.\r

Once at our table, our waiter walked by us no less than 3 times before we got our drinks. Water and wine. Then we watched as tables around us were seated and promptly greeted by the same waiter. ... They also received their food ahead of us, and got a little small talk. When our food DID come, it was great. Everything looked great and everyone appeared to enjoy the food. Our waiter again, looking at us with disdain, as he cleared the table, not making any eye contact, let alone a smile... or even ask us if we needed anything. \r
\r
They cut our friends cake, for $16... because, according to the mgr, ""it wahz en outzide item..."" I'd have cut it for nothing. \r
\r
Bottom line: our bill came to $160+ (and we ate LIGHT), and because I'm NOT a jack*ss, I tipped. I'd have given more if the waiter wasnt a kn0b. The guys who brought water were AWESOME and nice. I phoned the manager who proceeded to spread the weak sauce all over our conversation. With his interruptions, and condescending remarks, I ended up hanging up on him. I'm not one to make a scene at the table. I wasnt out for hand-out, I didnt want anything for free, Hell, I didnt even want an apology. I just wanted to make him aware of what was going on. Instead, I got my waiter... in manager form. \r
\r
Just because I didnt pull up in a Ferrari, and wave $100's in front of my face, obviously made me less of a person.\r

Il Cielo... Svck it.
Pros: ... Um, food was pretty good.
Cons: $$$$$! Service was sh1t! Waiter was rubbish... manager worse.
