La Villeta

The service in this place is horrible. we ate here once before we moved away.
Apparently if you aren’t middle aged and extremely well dressed, they put yu in the little section by the door which is drafty in the winter and it’s the smoking section.
We walk in, and it’s not like we we’re wearing something wildly inappropriate. The little snooty hostess got attitude when we said we didn’t have a reservation (it was a Friday and the place was dead). So, no reason to get attitude. Little high school twit.
Next, it took 15 minutes for the waitress to come by. Again, I point out that the place was DEAD. it’s another 30 minutes for our drinks to arrive. and our order for dinner was taken somewhere in the middle of that. i happen to be somewhat allergic to smoke, so we requested to move to a different section. it was apparently a big deal – because our waitress didn’t seem that pleased with having to move us… since we only had drinks. all this time, the manager, who is overweight and dresses like she’s 19 (showing her crack and cleavge), is sitting at the bar drinking on the job. she was also reading an apparently engrossing novel.
after bordering on an hour of sitting and waiting for our food, i got up and demanded my bill for the drinks and told them to keep the food. once they realized we were upset, they offered to comp the drinks.
wow, because that totally makes up for your horrible service and bad attitudes.
