"I picked Ribalta for a work dinner because I had a pleasant experience during my first visit earlier in the week. We had a reservation for 6pm. It ended at 7:30pm. We arrived on time. We were forgotten after ordering a bottle of water and a beer, which I ordered on the fly (because the waitress seemed rather rushed) when the water was brought to the table; I assumed she would ask them what they wanted, but instead, she left directly after delivering the beer. We tried to politely flag someone down for nearly half an hour. When we finally managed to get someone, we had less than an hour to order appetizers, main dishes, and drinks and that time dwindled even faster when the food came out. I was disappointed that we were rushed to leave. They rushed our plates from the table, even when there was still food on them. They rushed us the bill. They rushed to clear the table even as we were standing up to put on our jackets. I do not think this was fair, especially given that we had no one to serve us. I know restaurants are busy, and that sometimes things get crazy, but I was disappointed with the service."
