text: NEVER AGAINnnI went here for a friends birthday and we were a party of so I can understand some difficulty there but our group has been used to fine dining establishments and knowing myself I always try to save the waitstaff the stress of tending to a large partynnBelieve me I have waited on large parties before our group was not difficult A couple with a baby is already difficult but we are all adults herennLet me skip over the decor because I should have regretted the moment that I entertained the thought of dining with cars next to me I do not care if they are Murcielagos the service and the food was still horrendousnnBelieve me I would not skip over the good parts if there were any but to tell you the truth there were none Maybe the hostess she was prettynnBut the food was nothing special I did not get an appetizer because I did not feel like it so I got a dish with clams They were undercooked The server kept telling me they were cooked and I told him to taste it because it was cold inside Just because they are open according to popular belief does not mean they are cooked That just means they are dead because the muscle holding it open is not functioning anymorennSo then I ordered a fettuccine dish They came out with ravioli instead That was the second mistake they made on my dish My friends ordered a ravioli dish and there was only pieces Waste of moneynnThe servers and bussers were inattentive and they seem to be all hired through friends and hookups This is alright it makes sense to managers to hire people who they trust but it seems that the staff has gotten too comfortablennI did not leave a tip I never leave a tip at establishments where the staff or the chefscooks themselves make crucial mistakes Maybe it was just a bad evening there considering there are quite a few good reviews on this placennBut anyways I went to the giftshop upstairs after dinner and got myself a bottle of Fiji to flush down the salmonellaridden pasta if you call it pasta Best I spent that evening even though it was on overpriced waternnEat at Lavo instead the food there is a tad better and there is actually welltrained servers there
