Times says **** I say ???? The food was four star pretty much throughout but the service was abysmal to the point that I wouldn?t go back or even recommend it. We arrived on time for our 8:45 reservation and were directed to wait at the bar as though that were standard operating procedure. When we inquired how long it might be, the ma?tre'd told us a couple of minutes. Given that we didn?t order any drinks and patiently waited for about 10 minutes before approaching the podium. The response was ?they?re just setting the table.? After another 10 minutes, I went back to the podium and, after asking my name for the third time, he said ?Yes, it?s ready.? No apology or explanation. I just couldn?t help thinking how different the experience would have been had we been greeted with an ?I?m sorry but it?s going to be 20 minutes before your table is ready; please be our guests for a drink at the bar while you wait.?
