My family and I had tickets to a show at 8pm. We were meeting friends before the show and had to be out of the restaurant by 7:15. We were excited because we usually had tickets to shows on Sunday nights when Cosmos was closed. This was the last show in our season package and they were for Saturday night which meant that we could finally dine at Cosmos beforehand. I was really looking forward to having a cocktail off their extensive cocktail menu. We arrived at 5:40 and were greeted at the door by the hostess and a waitperson. We were seated immediately and given menus by the hostess. We looked at the menus and decided what we would order. And then we sat. And sat. And sat. I said ""Lets close our menus to signify that we're ready."" Several members of the waitstaff walk passed our table several times. No one came over to take a drink order or to check on us. I saw a group of about 4-5 waitresses congregating in the back near the kitchen which was 7 feet from our table. There was one other table with patrons so I don't know what the hold up was. At this point, I got a bad feeling about the place. If the kitchen staff was as slow as the waitstaff, we wouldn't get out on time. At 6:05 we decided to leave. The hostess simply said ""Bye! Have a good night!"" We went down the street to Libretto's where we were seated promptly and the waitress came over within minutes. We ordered, ate and were out the door by 7:15 and I spent half the amount of money too.
Cosmos should stop advertising that it's a ""Cafe"", implying that it's a restaurant. I'm only guessing but I think it caters more to the bar patrons that come later in the evening. It's not really a destination if you're looking to have a dinner with the family. If you're looking for the latter, go somewhere else.
I'm giving it one star only because the review wouldn't go thru without some kind of rating. If I could give it none, I would.
Pros: cute decor
Cons: NO SERVICE
