didnt want to read 5pages of blah blah.

wife and i went on a FRI night and had wonderful meal. Great service, all the food was prepared well. spent over 100 and was well worth it.

this place is getting good reviews everywhere else, i think you hit a shitty server and kitchen on a bad night.

For the person who wanted me to tell my Pinetta's experience. This is the short version of the main complaints. More happened and it's too long to post.

We ordered an appetizer. An hour after sitting it hadn't came. Our entree came out. My wife told the server to cancel the app as we didn't want it anymore because our meal came. Server explained that it was ready and that she'd bring it out and comp us the appetizer. Finished our meal, the app was mostly uneaten but we picked at it mostly while waiting for our check.

Then the manager came and all hell broke loose. First, she told me she wouldn't comp the app, which I didn't like but whatever. I did say "well, your server told us it was comped. " She said that her server denied promising us that and she believed her server.
Then, I told her that regardless she should comp us the appetizer anyway (it was 6 bucks). She then told me that she would "split a desert with me," which I wasn't looking to spend more money nor was I hungry for dessert. I declined. Then, without prompting, told me "you're probably use to Chili's and not this kind of restaurant." At that point, I admittedly lost my temper. And things devolved from there.

She then kept coming back to my table to reinsult me off and on while I waited for the full bill. At which we started yelling at each other. I paid the $120 bill. Then, I was notified by a busboy that she called the cops. So it ended with the police. This is a very condensed version. Trust me, it was almost surreal and unbelievable. And the only time in my life I've ever had a confrontation w/ a restaurant staff. I really don't ever want to experience it again. All of this happened in front of my friends which made it even more humiliating.

I'd say!

That's a great/terrible story.

I'm a bit disappointed that the people browbeating you and the OP can't allow for any subjectivity - "food was served, pay up" seems to be the prevailing attitude. As if you or anyone would go into a meal looking to get something comped.

Thought you'd want to see that several people on OpenTable have given this place less than glowing comments in the past few weeks (I did not post anything there)...

I thought Rue 127 was a clothing store for high schoolers and urbanites. Shows how much I know...
