Cafe 225

ate there 12apr08 - service was extremely slow - our waiter was going in and out of room after room but had no food or dishes in his hand - he was hiding out. I ordered steamed clams - I never got them. They were not on the bill, but I never got what I ordered, and he never mentioned that he had never brought them. He was too busy doing nothing but walking around. The service was extremely slow. I finally asked where our meal was. We were never offered coffee or desert. The establishment was not crowded. Like I said, our waiter was not busy, he was hiding out, not working, not doing anything but walking around with his weird hair doo which did not impress us at all. The owner was busy cooking but it is his job to observe what is going on, past the stove. The lamb special was very good, the seafood fettucini with white sauce was good, with red sauce was too heavy in olive oil - swimming in it. The glass of wine - outrageously priced - big mistake in ordering a glass of wine - very brutal price. Cost more than a generous shot of whiskey elsewhere. Big hangup for me was the lack of service. He shows a total lack of caring or respect of the ones who pay his wage. Withoug people like us, he is out of a job. Will I return - very hard pressed to try again. Service was non existent. We were there long enough for a several course meal and got only one course - no salad, no appetizer, no coffee, no desert.
