"The Bea has always had odd service the awkward wine and supplement upselling they're known for at this point but the food is good and service otherwise good enough to look past the blips. But something was way off this night.Food started fine. Though when serving a shared dish, why is everything in threes? Petite Plateau has three prawns, three each of two kinds of oysters what are we supposed to do, split an oyster? Most people dine in pairs, most people these days share food, everything should by default come in multiples of two. We ordered a red wine to go with our entree, but they brought it out while we were still on our apps, with nearfull glasses of white still. It needs time to breathe, they gave us an approval taste first, fine, that's de rigeur. What's not fine is then just leaving the bottle AND two empty red wine glasses sitting on an alreadyprettycluttered table. Are they trying to get people to drink sooner and order more? Is it some new thing? I don't know, all I know is it made our table cluttered and felt like they were rushing us. When ordering a threedigit bottle, come on...Midway through our entree, a server came by to dish out our remaining sides. They put two scoops of chard on my plate which already had some and none on my companion's which had none before abruptly whisking away the serving plate. It honestly came across like someone in back told them they needed the serving dish back and to just dump the contents anywhere. Again, kinda feeling rushed. We'll be back, as we've had great meals before. The Bea has earned our repeat business. Off nights happen. This night was one of them"
