We went out for dinner with another couple who have eaten here several times and were very positive about the prior experiences. For this reason, we are hoping to visit again and see some improvement on the service and food we had this time. Saturday...evening, no reservations needed, since the restaurant was not very busy, and we were seated immediately. In spite of this, other than getting water, we waited a long time for someone to come and take our orders. In fact, another table who were seated much later got service before we did. When someone finally came to take our order, we questioned whether we had the right menus because we had menus clearly labeled "Lunch," even though it was dinnertime. Nonetheless, we ordered, and asked for wine glasses (the restaurant is BYOB), and didn't receive them. Eventually, the server brought beer glasses, and we had to go up to a different employee and get wine glasses (and even then didn't get the number requested). Then, a good ten minutes later, our server came back and informed us that they didn't have the ingredient necessary for one of the ordered dishes (mine), and asked me to select something else. Sometime later than that, a different server came out and asked the same questions, so obviously something was not being properly communicated between the front of the house and the kitchen. When our food finally arrived, two of the dishes were okay initially, and the other two were not right. Mine was excessively salty, and the other was also very salty but just on the edge of being edible. I sent back my dish and declined to order another entrée since, clearly, there were problems in the kitchen that night. A different server ended up taking care of our table eventually, who seemed to know what was going on, and took care of us, but generally speaking, the service and food were disappointing. We also placed orders of crispy rolls, which came out in time for me to have a little something to eat after everyone else was done eating. Even these weren't that great. They were soggy and a bit greasy, and the dipping sauce was again very salty. The server we had at the end mentioned that the owner was not there that evening, but that can't possibly explain the complete breakdown in service and cooking. Because our friends have eaten there before without these same issues, we may be willing to try again, but hopefully we will not experience the lapses in service and deficiencies with the food that we experienced with this visit.More
