"This is the 2nd time that I have been here because my co-workers love their mussels, which they do not sell anymore. Though their signage says that they open at 11am, when arrived around 3pm, I had to approach the staff who were gathered at the bar prepping, for assistance. A man gave me some menus and directed me outside where I explained that I would like to wait for my colleagues. However, no one was sent to wait on me. Therefore, once again, I had to go to the staff gathered at the bar and ask to whom do I give my order? The two men and woman looked at one another in bewilderment, shrugged their shoulders, and said I guess her. I gave her my order and then sat down again, still waiting for my colleagues. As they arrived, one-by-one, a white couple entered the outdoor area, and the same man who had given me menus who I assume was the owner because he was wearing Dolce and Gabana tennis shoes, immediately went to their table to offer them service. The young lady from the bar area came with my drink. I asked if they could turn the fire pit on. The young lady said that she would ask, but I never got a response, and it was never turned on. When my colleagues arrived, they too were ready to order. By this time, a different young lady was sent out to serve us. She did so attentively in the beginning, but once we asked for our bills, she never came back. We sat an additional 20 minutes at least, waiting for someone to pick up oir checks and give my colleague change. The Dolce and Gabana shoes guy came over, looking very annoyed, as he cleared our remaining dishes and was asked to get us change (which my colleague used for his tip). By this time, people were starting to flow in. When I arrived, there was only one other customer drinking at the bar. This is an Italian restaurant that is located in a shopping center, with other restaurants and stores. The indoor and outdoor dining areas are beautiful. Everyone was satisfied with their food. Their drinks were not strong, compared to other places. They charge a 20% gratuity for groups over six. They also only split the checks four ways."
