Ugh. (And this was our anniversary dinner). 4 star...

Ugh. (And this was our anniversary dinner). 4 stars for the food, subtract 3 stars for the service and scheduling. And they had a *lot* of people working. Never coming back, too many different points of failure.

1) Arrived at 7:05 for 7:30 reservations, kept telling us 5-10 more minutes, seated at 7:50.
2) Waiter came at 7:55. First glass of wine at 8:04.
3) Waiter finally took food order, came back 4 minutes later because of "terrible handwriting did we order halibut or snapper". How bad is your handwriting that you can't tell the difference? Clearly just didn't write it down.
4) I was miserably hungry, asked for some bread. Other guy comes by 5 minutes later with a cornbread muffin that's 1cm diameter, races off before I can ask for a second.
5) Took forever to get a water refill as the water guy was racing around.
6) Dessert ordered at 9:10 despite us attempting to eat quickly (see above, phenomenally hungry). Meal over at 9:40.

Food was great, but we were so annoyed with the slow service that it didn't matter. We had carrot salad, agnolotti (mini raviolis), and the halibut. Or was it snapper :-)

What was supposed to be an awesome anniversary dinner was instead just another overpriced meal. I never pull out my calculator, I gave 15% to the penny (assuming tip sharing, kitchen didn't deserve to suffer).

We should have stuck with Brannans. Food isn't as good, atmosphere is noisier but we'd have been able to enjoy our food as they have their act together.
