text: After months and months on hiatus I have made a resolution that I think I will actually be able to keep unlike the NYE resolutions exercise and less carbs and that is to get back to the good work of keeping up with yelp and my amateur reviews It started to feel like homework but all fair and decent people need be warned of the good and the bad this and other cities have to offer by impartial peers Now it saddens me that my first update of will be such a disappointing experience that was Girasole last night However I feel the need to document the experience immediately If only some other yelper could have prepared us for such disrespect perhaps we would not have been taken so off guard hence my warning to you The lady and I wanted to try somewhere newish and I had not been here in over a year when I was the second to review this joint on yelp in I am sure much of what I said then applies today very louddecent service a little above average food with a seasonal menu I call and make a reservation well in advance so as to try to mitigate what I seem to remember always being a waitWe arrived at PM sharp for our reservation and do not get anyones attention for a little while but eventually do see who I assume is the owner We mention our reservation he says no problem minGreat I understand you are busy and we will just wait a while min min minOkay I will try to make this easySir may I please give you my cell so you can just call when the table for opensSure what is it We go across the road to starbucks and wait for the phone to ring min min min minNow keep in mind I booked a reservation well in advance We go back to the restaurant and wait again cramped like sardines cautious to make eye contact which we do Okay I know what you are thinking why not just leave I have already admitted it is nothing special I know you have been therewe kept thinking what if we leave now just when he is about to call So we continue to wait and then someone walks in right behind us bumps Annie out of the way and just stands for maybe secondsthe owner runs over bursts through Annie and I and just grabs the couple and seats them immediately I have never seen such blatent disregard for other customers It was clear these folks were just regulars so he seated them ahead of everyonewhat is so bad is it was right in front of us I can appreciate that we are not regulars but cmon pops have a little discretion Please take this as a cautionary tale does not matter if you have a reservation does not matter if you leave your cell btw still has not rang and you pretty much do not matter if you are not a regular There is a happy endingWe ended up at the bar at Eleven I had a great tuna tartare and a piece of fish and Annie had a wonderful order of steakfrites We will not be back to Girasole
