I've been to Asteroid twice recently -- once with my husband and once with a group. The first time I went was better than the second. The first time, service was polite and attentive. My husband and I both enjoyed our meals. He had the osso bucco and I had the risotto. Neither was amazing, but both were very good. We returned with friends we were treating to dinner for a celebration. I was embarassed we picked the place. Although we had a reservation, and the place was not full, service was agonizingly sloooow at 7 pm on a Saturday night. We ordered one starter for the table, which arrived reasonably promptly, and then waited and waited for our entrees. It took about an hour for them to be served. The waitress came by, deposited my pasta on the table, said nothing, and walked away. We had no idea what was going on with the other meals or when to expect them. Several minutes later, two more entrees arrived, but my husband still had no food! Again, no explanation or apology. Finally, after a few more minutes, we all had our dinners. Our friends enjoyed their osso bucco (which, by the way, the kitchen only had 2 of left at about 7:30!). My seafood fettucine was not overly flavorful, and had a skimpy amount of seafood for the price. My husband said his steak was average. The waitress was abrupt, at one point interrupting one of our guests who was speaking. The tab for one appetizer, four entrees, and one bottle of wine came to over $200. I felt ripped off and embarassed by the whole experience. I probably won't be back.
