Dirty and careless
My wife and I have been frequenting a restaurant (not mentioning the name because this thread is about Lago) that is closed on Mondays so when she suggested going out last night we decided to try Lago . That is when we learned how high the bar has been lifted by the restaurant we frequent..
The first thing we noticed was that Lago also hangs their glasses over the bar. The deference is that they don’t polish the glasses. They hung like a smoky cloud instead of the sparkly polished ones we are accustom to.
I went to the men’s room to wash my hands and to my surprise found at least 12 crumpled towels on the flour because the trash was over flowing. I made mention of this to the manager.
When I returned to my seat at the bar I noticed that the floor around the wait station was littered with straws, napkins, and food.
Now the food. My wife ordered a salad which came with the wrong cheese. My mussels were served without the bread as mentioned on the menu. I did get a bonus mussel though. There was no sauce on it, and unexplainable why it was hiding under the squash on my entree (very tasty short ribs) which came out quite a while after my mussel app did. We also got a flat bread pizza. It reminded me of a saltine cracker without salt or very much sauce and cheese.
This was our first visit to a Common Man so we don’t know if these are common place problems or did the stars just align in the wrong path for us.
We are glad it's Tuesday so we can go back to a cumfortable place with great attention to detail.
