So, we went out to dinner last night at this Italian place of Paul's told us about....
"It's wonderful, you'll love it" That's what he said...
I read some reviews online before we went and 90% of them said this place had great food "the best in the Bellevue area" but almost all of them said the service was not good!!
My oh my... They were wrong about the food. It was ok but as Paulie said I could have made better at home.
The service was ok... except for.... get this!! I'm still can't really believe it.
The waiter ( all the waiters were semi-good looking Italian men) brought us bread and a bottle of olive oil. Paul thought the oil tasted a little off and so told the waiter about it. Instead of just taking the bottle away and bringing us a new one... waiter took a plate from our table, poured a little oil on to it...and then grabbed a piece of our bread from our bread basket and dumped it in to the oil!! HE then took a bite of it and said the oil tasted fine to him!!!!
Does anyone else find that rude? Shouldn't he have just taken the oil and brought us another bottle. His hands in my bread basket just irked me. YUCK!
Two dinners with no drinks and no appies came to almost 40 dollars so this wasn't a cheap place. Not high class but still...
oh...the other waiters whistled at the girl customers as they left....
