This place was simply, horrible. We’ve read such positive reviews of this place on chowhound, that the quality of their food and service was a complete shock to us. This place is many many tiers below restaurants like the...

Is it ever OK to stiff the waitstaff?

This happened to a friend of mine on Tuesday night. They were a party of four and after dinner, three of them each ordered a glass of the same wine. The waiter brought a bottle and filled glass 1, but ran out half-way through...

I went to Citronelle in Carmel this past week. The food was very good but the service was atrocious. For example, we waited an hour and a half before we saw some bread on our table. Had to continually ask for water refills and...

passionate diners, I’m taking my story to the blogosphere and sharing it with my friends who also live in the area. Do I feel like I’ll miss out on Bon San sushi? Not really. Does anyone else agree that good sushi...

Too many times, I’ve literally had to walk inside with my empty coffee cup in hand after waving down the waiters several times for refills. A customer shouldn’t have to shame the waiters into service even once, let...

of the meal ( by a different server!) . On our way out, a manager ( and here i thought they didn’t exist!) asks us how we enjoyed our meal? We responded w. great food but bad service. We were asked why we didn’t bring...

, they only take cash. I think that’s really silly in 2006. I went after my run and I only had plastic on me, so I had to borrow from my friend. Not a big deal, but adding to the bad service, I would rather go down the...

steak. All were very good, though not great. Hot dishes weren’t very hot, either. Unfortunately, the service was bad bad bad. We were first seated at a 2-top near the front door, at which the chair facing the door was backed...

or being bad tippers—-I hope this is on its way out, though). We were seated, as I had requested, in the garden, and we had attentive (but not obsequious) service. I do think you’re onto something when you said you...

My boyfriend and I went to Paladar last night before a show at Mercury Lounge. The food was excellent—we started with big, tender mussels in a tequila chipotle broth. I had chicken breast glazed in tamarind sauce, served on...

tomato basil and a nice salad, finish those and order a Pinot Blanc to go with our entrees. Entrees come a small but tasty salmon and an excelent chicken ravioli...no wine..we eat, half way trough out comes the wine...bad...

there is one bad apple on the staff, but not for long. She also owns Bean in Wmbg, and I find Bean to be a warm, friendly, neighborhood joint (with great cobbler).

Funny about what Uncle Brenny posts. The restaurant before Artisanal, at that same location, was Rose Hill. A fish restaurant. I live only a few blocks away. The “New York Press” gave it a bad review based on the...

Which one — bad food or bad service — would make you more inclined not to go back to a restaurant?
