I have always felt the dishes were well prepared with excellent ingredients but there always seems one dish that sounds wonderful on the menu but I am not really happy with. I have always thought that maybe I just didn't get it. But I like it enough that I have been back several times. Usually in the winter though, maybe I should try the summer seasonal menu as well.Bonnienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7700721558717637465.post-85429550422743510962010-02-12T09:57:32.168-05:002010-02-12T09:57:32.168-05:00Sorry to digress, but can someone in the restauran...Sorry to digress, but can someone in the restaurant business explain seating policies?<br /><br />We were at 14 West last week, 6:30 reservation. I guess you can seat 30 tables, and when we got there maybe 4 tables were taken. <br /><br />Hostess takes us the via the scenic route the long way around the perimeter of the room, past 4 empty booths and half a dozen empty 4 tops. Then proceeds to seat us at a tiny 2 top six inches next to another couple already eating at their 2 top. I mean, we were practically in their lap in an empty restaurant.<br /><br />I don't usually whine about seating, they have their reasons whatever they may be. But this time I spoke and said, c'mon,is this really necessary? How busy do you plan to be tonight?<br /><br />They mumbled somethign about expecting to be really busy with Devour Downtown, but relented and moved us to a 4 top. Two hours later the restaurant was maybe half full.<br /><br />What gives? Don't tell me it's about waiter stations, I'm sure they don't assign solely 2 tops to certain staff.ChicagoPetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00482085939749594086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7700721558717637465.post-38718663027378962202010-02-12T09:35:33.366-05:002010-02-12T09:35:33.366-05:00Similar experience…I had 3 courses, my wife had 3 ...Similar experience…I had 3 courses, my wife had 3 as well so out of the 6 plates, 4 were great and 2 of them didn’t seem to be at the same level. However, the service was good, I liked the box, quality ingredients and a menu that was begging me to come back. Looking forward to a return visit sooner than later.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
