Me and my boyfriend went to Alhambra On Valentine?s day.\r
We were seated at a table with a pretty good view to the stage and came right on time to catch the belly dancer show which was excellent. \r
45 minutes later - the belly dancer has finished her performance - we still haven?t been greeted !!! Finally a server came to our table and took our pre-set 5 course meal order ($105 per person!!!)\r
As for the appetizers - The tinniest sampler of hummus and babaganush - were served w/o pita bread and were ridiculously small. We asked two different people (since our server was nowhere to be found) to get us some pita bread - without any success. \r
It took FOREVER for ALL the courses to be served. \r
The food was ok but the service was awful!!! In fact it was so bad that we saw 2 different couples from the tables next to us just get up and leave!!! \r
By the time we finished our desert,the only thing we wanted to do is get the hell out of there !\r
I?ve worked as a server in a restaurant not too long ago , and trust me? I KNOW how it is when its packed and everyone is running around like crazy trying to get everything out for their table, and I perfectly aware that on a busy night its absolutely impossible to get 100% good service sometimes not even 50% - which would be perfectly fine with me but 1%??? For a $225.00 bill??? That is just unheard of! I?ve always tipped 20% or more from the bill in every restaurant I went to- even if the service wasn?t that great , but this time I just couldn?t get my self to leave $50 tip for the most terrible service!!!\r
Our plan was to spend a wonderful romantic night in a fancy restaurant and maybe continue our night at the upstairs dance floor or a different club , but at 12:30 when we finally finished dinner - the only thing we wanted to do is forget about that night and the $250 we threw away in Alhambra - the Moroccan palace?.\r
Pros: Beautifull place, amazing decor
Cons: Horrible service
