Service was definitely off. 1 person orders a special of grilled fish and it comes with mashed potatoes. 2 others order the meat dish which is served with roasted potatoes. They ask for mashed. Waitress comes back after awhile and says chef doesn't have enough mashed potatoes except for the amount of grilled fish specials they are expecting. 1 person pleaded for mashed potatoes instead. Answer No. Lemony seafood pasta remains my favorite though. Others like the piazette. But I cannot tolerate poor service.Waiting for a table is bad enough. I'll deal with that but not poor service.
