THE WORST DINING EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE HERE- OCT 13, 2007
1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

10/17/2007 Posted by ryanwex

We had reservations for Felini on October 13th. We were placed at the worst table in the restaurant-in the way back, next to the service area. We placed our orders for appetizers and drinks at the same time and ordered drinks as well. The drinks took which took 10 minutes to get, despite the fact the 2 liter soda bottles were sitting within 4 feet of us in the service area. It was 30 minutes before our appetizers were brought out. I ordered the Calamari Fra Diavla and found a piece of plastic inside the calamari when I was chewing it. I brought this to the waiter's attention who apologized. The owner came over and apologized as well. Our entrees took another half hour to get out, totally 1 hour and 10 minutes between when we ordered and when the entrees arrived. I ordered Veal Picatta. The capers in the dish were obviously not rinsed off first as they made the dish extremely salty and the veal was tough. My friend’s soda was refilled with no ice so she got a soda that was warm from sitting in the bottle in the service area. When we received the bill, the only item comped on it was the calamari. Despite all that we had to deal with and did not get up and leave, I felt that the entire meal should have been comped. Eat McDonalds out of a trash can before you ever eat here.

Pros: None

Cons: Plastic left in calamari which I almost swallowed, in attentive service, cramped quarters, poorly made food
