Food Rating [10/10] Service Rating [8/10] Ambiance Rating [8/10] Best Restaurant in Columbus? - Baloney! Let's forget that our group of 7 had problems with the "automated" reservation system (called and left the reservation 8 people at 6:30 PM on 5/20/2002 on the recording, which said that the restaurant would call back ONLY if there was a problem. Called back to change the reservation from 8 to 7 people, and were told that they didn't have a 6:30 reservation for our group, and that the earliest that they could seat us was 8:00 PM.

Called back to change the reservation from 8 to 7 people, and were told that they didn't have a 6:30 reservation for our group, and that the earliest that they could seat us was 8:00 PM. Only after our insistence, since everyone in the group had already been notified, did they agree to seat us at our original time.) Let's forget that all of our group was seated by 6:30 PM, our orders were taken by 6:45, but our food wasn't served until 8:15 PM (most of it, that is, as they "forgot" 1 person's meal which was not served until 20 mi. after the others). Let's forget the snooty and smug attitude of the head waiter when we pointed out the long delay in serving our food to which he replied "Your serving time was "normal" for this restaurant." Normal or not it was irritating and too much of a coincidence that our food was not served until AFTER the reservation time that they tried to force on us. Let's talk about my food. According to [the previous] review, anything on the menu is "good.". Well, you can scratch off the Sea Bass from that list in my opinion. My Sea Bass was overcooked to the point of being rubbery (or should I say over-microwaved as it was clear that my entree had been "warmed up.") In addition, ignoring the so-so topping of some type of vegetable-based sauce, the size of the fish portion itself was no larger than used in a McDonald's fillet of fish sandwich. This made this rather pricey "high teens" entree even more pricey. My Sea Bass was so bad that I should have returned it. I was so hungry that I ate it anyway. Interestingly, for a restaurant that serves entries "a la carte", I thought it was very odd that the only 2 side dishes listed on the menu were soup and salad (no potatoes, no vegetables, etc.). I also was greatly offended by the fact that when I told the head waiter that I was dissatisfied with my dish, not only was no compensation offered, but again the haughty head waiter offered no apology to me. This restaurant is supposed to be romantic and to have good food. Apparently that is because most people get "drunk" during the long wait on an empty stomach before their food is served, at which point anyone looks good and any food tastes good. My delay in writing this review in no way lessens my comments. Emanuel Fatseas 878-8239 Food Rating [2/10] Service Rating [2/10] Ambiance Rating [6/10]
