overpriced 5/14/2007

I went to Tomaso's for mother's day with my husband and his parents. They didn't have the wine I chose, and the waiter tried to substitute another bottle- which I rejected, because it was too tanic and thin. He then brought out another wine for me to try, saying that this was also in the same price range, that I liked much better, and we ended up going with the latter. ( I only found out at the end, when the bill came, that it was in fact $16 more- not exactly what I'd call in the same price range- it was a $50 bottle of wine, rather than the $34 bottle I had initially chosen.} Then, he brought out the wrong entree for my mother-in-law - instead of the linguini carbonara, he brought out another linguini with a red sauce, and shrimp, and tried to insist that it was what she ordered. He finally went back, and looked at the ticket, and realized he had in fact brought out and ordered the wrong dish. So my mother-in-law, who was the guest of honor (as it was mother's day) had to wait for the kitchen to make her entree all over again, while the rest of us had already been served. Then when we got the final bill, it still listed the wrong entree, (an additional $8 than what she actually ordered, and finally, ate), so then we had to wait for him to cancel the bill, and the charge to the card, and then redo it. Between the upcharge of the wine, the wrong entree, the wrong price, and no other compensation for the additional wait, and the mix up, let alone the overpriced entrees to begin with, it was not an experience worth repeating. Cons: bad service, over-priced more
