Review of Manresa Restaurant

Our dinner at Manresa as others have described was an experience. The food was creative and delicious, and we didn't leave hungry despite small portions in each course. The disappointments came in the service and the dessert. Compared to the rest of the meal, the dessert left something to be desired. The service was also disappointing for the investment made in the experience. Despite multiple servers, food runners, and management in the dining area, about two thirds of the way through the meal, they seemed to forget about us. We had a late seating for a Thursday, but it appeared that they were busy cleaning up and getting ready for close, rather than ushering us through the remnants our meal. They forgot to offer us any coffee or tea before the desserts starting coming, and there were much longer pauses between the last several courses than we experienced in the beginning. At one point we were searching for someone to ask for coffee from, and the table next to us was frantically searching for a server to get to bill from. Eventually, we both flagged someone down to help us. It sounds a bit a ridiculous to be complaining about this, but again given the cost of this meal, I would have expected the food and the service to be supurb.
