Looks like someone else’s review of Gaslight hat I responded to got removed, so I’m reposting this response: I had some really bad service in the dining room at Gaslight not too long ago (and so did some friends at the... (25 replies, last updated by The Chowhound Team January 29, 2009)

base boards along the walls are filthy. A simple patch and paint job would solve the cosmetic issues. The three of us ordered a la carte and one friend ordered the prix fixe. Soon after the amuse bouche arrived, we started... (2 replies, last updated by Tay December 12, 2007)

one was still new. It turned out the other was even newer. We overheard at least three tables complaining of bad service, which the new girl shrugged off and merely said “I'm new.” We could tell the kitchen staff... (0 replies, last updated by Firenza00 May 11, 2007)

I’ve never had a bad experience with service, even at the counter. I was at the counter with two friends just last week — we got in fairly late (around 9:30), and the waiter was as friendly as can be, and kept... (6 replies, last updated by ed February 25, 2006)

If you’re in Minneapolis and want a good breakfast be sure to avoid the Band Box. This place is the pits! I waited at the counter for 15 minutes and was quite rudely ignored by the staff as they stood around behind the... (0 replies, last updated by Jeff June 22, 2003)

notes. I refuse to go to Aqua and Michael Mina simply because the service has been so bad. I’m talking perspiring waiters who never refill your water until you flag them down from across the hall. Even the best places (Gary... (16 replies, last updated by carol January 29, 2005)
