Assaggio - disappointed?

 After reading raves about Assaggio, I really wondered whether my
 experience (which I didn't post for some reason) was unique.

 Evidently not.

 Our beefs, if I remember correctly, were about switched wine (which I
 actually did post a month or so ago), having the waiter return to us
 multiple times after ordering to inform us that our choice was no longer
 available, and uninspiring food.

 On the good side, the waiter was very apologetic and brought my partner
 a glass of dessert wine, gratis, for his trouble and, as with the
 previous poster, we found dessert the best part of the meal.

 I hate to condemn a restaurant one experience but with all the choice
 out there, it's hard for me to give that second chance.

 hi relaena,

 One of the damned if you do and damned if you don't is the one you
 mentioned above. Do we follow the advice of the multitudes like so many
 sheep; or do we break new culinary ground? Whenever I offer suggestions of
 where to eat, I usually throw in a few of my recommendations. The higher
 the priced restaurant, the more suggestions(no one, but no one likes throw
 away money, and feel the way you and Dave did). I usually take another
 person's advice the first time. After I feel comfortable, I may come back
 and try another dish. Or, if I am really observant, I try to watch what the
 other folk are eating and liking or not(but, in your case, it can be
 excused, as I assume that you and Dave only had eyes for each other).
 Remember the advice you gave on EB at the place below the WS Bridge, it was
 wonderful. And I looked around at the other dishes; and will go back.
