Perhaps our "eh" experience was magnified because we arrived at Bomberos right after having dined at Postino for dinner. The huge difference between the quality of service was hard to miss! Our group of 6 was quickly seated, and the hostess was kind enough to turn up the heater to make sure we were warm enough. That was the highlight of the service. Now, the service was definitely not rude... it wasn't inconsiderate... it was just... well... not very good. Our waitress (and apparently the chef) could not tell us the ingredients in any of the desserts. Even though they source their desserts from Tammie Coe, why don't they know what is in them? For people with allergies, this can make or break a meal. Since we couldn't confirm the ingredients, my husband had to make do with a coffee, while I indulged in the Creme Brulee. It was good. Pleasant, but certainly nothing spectacular. The few times our waitress came by to check on our group, she seemed to have strange timing... like she didn't really know how to leave... she just sort of stood there a few seconds too long, until it was slightly awkward. Strange. Then, we wouldn't see her for large stretches of time... we were getting thirsty with no water refills! I'm hoping it was just an off night/server... and we'll definitely try again, as we really loved the outdoor patio and roaring fire. Beautiful and romantic! We'll cross our fingers for improvements with the service.
