We made a reservation for valentine's day. Our server, a tall thin gentleman that did not give us his name, took our orders and throughout the night seemed annoyed when we asked questions about the menu. I am a soft speaker, and when the server could not hear what I was saying in the busy section, he beckoned for me to speak louder rather than adjust or come closer to hear me more clearly. As we asked questions about the menu, he responded with an attitude and made us hesitant to ask any further questions. Our appetizer was delicious, but arrived with part of the ticket still attached to one of the scallops which was a turn off. When asked about the ingredients in one of the sauces since I have a peanut allergy, he responded very frankly, as though we should have known what ingredients were included in the dish. I unfortunately did not enjoy my first selection, to which the server was able to exchange the meal. However the kitchen was closing at that time. The second meal I received was flavorless and lacked any sort of seasoning. When we kindly mentioned this to the server, he took the plate with a disgruntled look and did not say a word to respond to our inquiry, showing clearly that he was upset that we had asked any more questions. After attending to another table, he then threw over his shoulder that he would take care of it as made his way to the kitchen. My guest and I felt a disappointing lack of hospitality as in previous years, we experienced great service from a former server named Owen who made us feel so special that we decided to make coming to this restaurant a tradition. However, after last night's service, I am hesitant to return and feel very unwelcome. Be sure to know the ingredients in your dishes as asking will only annoy the staff. An overall poor and disappointing Valentine's day.
