Although the food is good and the restaurant beautiful with its renovation, tonight's service left quite a lot to be desired. When we arrived no one was at the front desk. It was several minutes before the party ahead of us was seated; and several more before the acting maitre d' seated us. We noticed later that the floor captain was schmoozing with other patrons while they ate their dinner. Our waiter greeted us in a timely manner, but then HE proceeded to flirt with another table, sitting and talking with them for a few minutes. He walked by our table several times, never asking if we were ready to order, although both our menus were closed. When we were finished, the busboys quickly boxed up our left overs; they were much more attentive, filling our glasses and removing plates as needed. Then there was ANOTHER wait for the check while our waiter simply disappeared. I've eaten there over the years and this was the first time I've seen this kind of inattention to patrons, or at least patrons who are not regulars. With this kind of treatment, it's unlikely I'd become a regular - there is after all another excellent, attentive Italian restaurant in the same price range right next door.
