Waitstaff took care of the "inner circle" and left the rest of us to starve. Never going back.
took 8 people out to dinner --service not good--food just ok bill almost 500--we were abruptly asked to leave --because another party was waiting for our table when we left there were lots of tables --apparently we were asked to leave because someone wanted "THAT TABLE" the place to go to spend lots of money and get embarrassed after you drop 500 dollars kudos to the management --keep up the good work'' Big Tony j
spent 500 dollars for dinner we were seated at 6 pm --at 8:30 pm we were asked to leave "someone is waiting for your table" they actually escorted us away from the table and out the door! THERE WERE LOTS OF EMPTY TABLES AT THAT TIME -- I am 57 years old and a respected member of the community and I HAVE NEVER EVER BEEN TREATED THAT BADLY AT ANY DINING ESTABLISHMENT..... food was ok service was bad empty water glasses a lot the waiter left our wine bottles at the end of the table and didnt even pour the wine I have been there... read more
I have to wonder how Brianct1 could say the staff was extremely professional���rude and inattentive is more my take. When approaching the doorway to go outside, a waiter (not ours) practically pushed me aside to get in. Had they been extremely busy, I would have understood, but such was not the case. Once seated, the slow service was nothing compared to overhearing our server offering other tables fresh grated pepper and such, but not to us. It was insulting. The food was fantastic, but poor service will keep me away just as... read more
This re-vamped restaurant, whose front door STILL reads Rafaello's has a really LONG way to go in the service dept. They have a very pretty outdoor area - poorly lit however, and unfortunately they allow smoking out there - YUCK - ruins my meal. But I digress. Upon entering the restaurant I waited at least 5 mins before anyone noticed I was standing around. No one is at the door to greet the patrons. Strike 1. Finally I get some attention and get seated at our reserved table outside. No one asks me if I want anything for at ... read more
Wow (bad) & Wow (good). Wow bad: Service is worse than that provided by bored, hormonal fry-fetchers at fast food joints. It took 5 mins after appearing at the empty entrance to even receive acknowledgement (while a multitude of employees rushed back & forth) and that should have been the hint to leave right then, despite the reserved seat in an uncrowded restaurant. It took 15 minutes after seating before a server showed up to literally "drop off" menus & take a drink order (2nd hint). After depositing the wine at our table... read more
This was my third visit to this restaurant (formerly known as Rafaello's), my first with it now as "Luce". Having experienced poor to abominable service previously, I was hoping for a better experience with this new name. I don't mind a leisurely dinner, in fact I prefer it. However, leisurely gave way to almost-being-ignored. I was tempted to ask if we could exchange our wait-person for another. This dining experience was mid-week with a rather small dining crowd, I can only imagine what might happen if they are lucky enoug... read more
