Can I vent for a second about my horrible dinner last night?

i had a screwy experience not that long ago, but have become somewhat friendly with the owners and know that they were aware of how shitty the service was that night and genuinely felt bad about it.

hey, entrees aren't great, and service will never be the best, but you can have a hell of a time there with a bunch of apps, sides, and great drinks.

Sette has 100% worked their kinks out and is now my preferred Italian place in the Slope.

Wow, a threesome. Now that's a Valentine's Day.

no, now that's a VD!

Hate to disappoint everyone, but we were just three Girl Friends trying to have dinner at 9pm on Valentine's Day. I didn't have a problem with waiting -- but I DID have a problem with waiting outside on a "heated patio" that should NOT have been offered (or even open, for that matter) in the dead of winter. It was like rude & false marketing: "We'll tell them there's no wait on our 'heated patio' (wink), so they'll sit down and order drinks and won't be able to leave! Even if they have frost bite!"

To top it all off, our waitress was a total bitch, whereas our hostess was *great*, which is kinda backwards, isn't it? I mean, the tip goes to the waitress, right?

And sorry to report, no VD. But the food was crap.

As an ex waitress there is a prerequisite for bitch when applying at any restaurant. I guess it's living off the tips thing where as Hostesses get paid by the hour. If she were smart, she would have played up the charade in her favor made the whole runaround worth it for all parties included. But then, I imagine anyone that has to work Valentine's night isn't happy....But it shouldn't have been taken out on a customer :?

I would have to concur about Bogota, I've been twice and each time had a tasty meal without any service incidents.
