The worst dining experience of my life was Saturday April 5th in this restaurant. The first words out of the server's mouth were, ""we have no soup today"" and it went downhill from there. The were out of most of our first choices so we made other selections. When the server returned to tell me that my second choice had sold out during the visits to our table I sighed deeply and took the menu from him. This must have ticked him off because things went downhill from there. My third choice was mussels. They arrived somewhat after the other entrees. With mussels half the fun is soaking up the sauce with bread. One problem---the sauce tasted like water or rather was tasteless. Please understand this is not hyperbole---the broth was that bad! My companion prevailed on the server to taste it and off it went. Offered an opportunity to choose again I passed. The server apologized repeatedly, from the moment he notified us that the soup was unavailable. His ""excuse"" was that someone had changed the menu without informing the chef? A former restaurant owned among us was doubtful that this was the truth or at least the whole truth but he stuck to his story. \r

So, in the end, like all good servers and restaurants there was an attempt to rescue the evening. We were provided two desserts to split among the four of us. We didn't choose them, we weren't even asked what we would have liked, they just appeared. But I'm sure the reason for that was that the two were the only things available. \r

To sum it up...the service was disingenous at best and the food, what was available, was worse.
