the valentine masacre

Posted by Ruthie from south of boston on 2/15/06

Although the food was fabulous. The attitudes of the staff including the owners and dining room was less than warm. It was supposed to be a romantic valentines night but every time the door open we froze. We had asked to be moved away from the door but was told that the whole place is under the same status. We had asked the waitress to help us navigate through the menu since this was our first tapas experience. At that time the restaurant seemed to be understaffed and she seemed to be impatient as to our indecision as to how, what and how much to order. She continued to removed dishes from our table while we were still eating from them. Several times we had to ask for the plates back she even removed my wine before I had the chance to finish it. we had had a spill and used our napkins eventually the spill was cleaned up but our napkins were never replaced.for At $120. for two people we were made to feel our visit had exceeded the limit by never once being pleasant. At those prices you do expect to be comfortable and it to be a wonderful experience. Fortunately the food spoke for itself and at least made that the experience palatable to overloook all else. But for that price I am sure I can find another tapas where the service and atmosphere is a much better value and experience.
