text: Met up with some of the girls for breakfast on Sunday and the place was jumping as usual I want to say up front that this place was my absolute favorite for HH a couple of years agonice patio tremendous service and good wine I was there at least once a week with a variety of people BECAUSE of the extra touches My last few experiences have ranged from lackluster to meh and I have decided it is because of the service and not the food nnThis trip was no differentfrom the hostess who let me stand feet in front of her for about a minute without acknowledging me to the server who seemed not to feel well and had no real patience for our slowness in ordering nnIt just looks like this team was not having a good time at work There were some notable exceptions the bartender very pleasant and the young lady who took us to our table was nice as well I miss the smiling faces and the energy of folks who enjoy their jobsnnI have no quibbles with the food at allloves me some tomato jam bruschetta the salmon plate pickles and a range of other tasty treats but brunch is also about ambiance and I expect so much more when I am spending for a table of four nnThis neighborhood is filling up with good restaurants and what separates one from the rest is the general comfort and welcoming vibe I fervently hope that this location begins to value this very simple concept as the market becomes more competitivennSo how does Postino get to that th or even th starnnSay Hi to me when I come in Smile at me and say Be right with younSwing by and ask how my food isnDont tell me you have to be herennI can think of several other things but these are quick and do not cost anything Until then Postino you are not a destination for me
