> What sorts of bad experiences? First they are owned by the same people, (Strike one) I belong to a computer user group; we called ahead on like days ahead for a Tuesday night, reservation for 10. They said no problem, we all arrived at our scheduled time, 7:30pm and waited like almost 45 min.'s for a table - so far no problem! This is normal most places. We all ordered dinners, like burgers and salads; we had just got our dinners when they brought the check. We made it clear that we where there for dinner and a brief meeting when we called ahead. As soon as the last person finished they asked if we could leave? I have never been asked to leave immediately after the bus boy took my plate, - have been there on other occasions and found the service to be rude and rushed - the food "MIGHT" be good, but the atmosphere sucks - (Strike 2) I have been to City Grill at least 20 times have been there on business and pleasure, and the wait staff was very slow, and very un-concerned about us - you know the people who are supposed to tip, even for piss poor service. I love their Blue Cheese burger, when you go to a restaurant and there are like 10 people in the whole place, and you ask for a quick burger because you are going to a hockey game, and 45 mins later you have to ask for the check because you need to leave and still don't have your food - something is wrong! (Strike 3 - you're out!) So because there are many other places, that take cash and credit cards for good food & good service, I choose not to go back to Tessaro's or City Grill! Sincerely, Mike
