Review of Capitol Cellars

This was our second time there and second review. The first review was glowing. Not so good Friday night. In all fairness, the food was superb and our personal server was nice. But the evening did not start well. I had made reservations but did not realize they had any bar height tables and chairs which I don't care for. There is one, and we were seated there. We were told that was all that was available. There was a table set for 4 next to it, and we assumed it was reserved for a party of 4. Five minutes later a young couple arrived. They quickly cleared 2 places off the table for 4 and sat the 2 of them there. The noise level was also quite high. We had a fairly loud party of 6 sitting next to us, and the place was full, so the noise detracted from the intimacy of the meal. There was a blonde lady/hostess kind of wandering around, and she was rather snippy with my friend. After dinner when we were leaving, my friend asked for a toothpick. Same lady gave him a very nasty look before handing one to him. Seems like when you have just laid down $70+, you should be treated better than snide looks. We won't go back. Will only recommend with caveats.
