  • Entering And Being Seated
  • Review by Starfish Cafe on 02/29/08.
  • 2 diners, 41 to 60 years old, $25 - $49 per person, Visit again? No
  • OrderImported beer for drinks. Oysters Rockefeller for appetizer. One order of paella, and another item arrived in its place; one order of trout stuffed with crabmeat.
  • ReviewEntering and being seated, ordering and being served is a disaster in this place. On arriving, someone appeared with "I'm busy seating another party." Then another person appeared with "I'll find you a table." No server ever assigned to our table the entire meal. After going to find an employee at the entrance, he came and took our order, which finally arrived cold. One of us brought something other than ordered. When stating no server assigned to our table, the response was "What can I get you? I'll take care of waiters." Total chaos. The food would have been acceptable of served warm instead of cold while waiting for someone to punch hit and bring it. Just all in all a poorly managed operation.
