Now I am hearing that staffing at this time of year is pretty common. That's too bad, and perhaps that explains it all. Actually when I was talking with my server at Lago she said that she travels an hour to her job. No, I was not at all rude. That's not my style. It's just that there were a lot of empty tables. And when I was told that one room was not being served, yet there were people in there eating, and the other room had tables that were reserved but I might be able to be seated in 45 minutes, it didn't make much sense. "I'm sorry but we're a little understaffed tonight" would have gone a long way. The bottom line is that I left there feeling like they didn't especially want me there. That being said, I did dine at Lavinia's one other time and had a very nice meal and great service. It just wasn't a good experience this time around.
