"Hosted a large party event there last week for a milestone birthday after having a wonderful dining experience in May 2023. The experience this time was horrible and disappointing in multiple ways, and I’ll never be returning there. To start, there was miscommunication with the reservation and the pre-fix menu which I think contributed to the frustration of our server. He disregarded us throughout the meal and didn’t check in. We had to flag him down for service on a Sunday when the restaurant wasn’t very busy. The server was very short with me and my guests when we asked for anything. When I tried to provide feedback and explain the pre-fix menu options for dessert, the server barked at me and told me this was never how it has been. There was no apology for what was a miscommunication (not on my part) and then asked in a rude manner, “well, what do you want?!” As a past server myself, I had empathy for someone having a bad day but he engaged with us in an unprofessional and disrespectful manner, as if we were a bother as paying customers. It was so bad that two guests stepped out of the restaurant to disengage with the server. The food also wasn’t as good as it was in 2023, although the gelato and tiramisu were just as delicious. The owners seemed to be receptive to the feedback and did give me a gift card to use at their other restaurants. Hope that other patrons don’t experience the same level of discomfort while dining. It definitely ruined what was suppose to be a special celebratory outing."
