Reviews for Savona

10/19/2013 - James
PASS ON THIS PLACE. The food is OK, but the service at Savona is so terrible, that it far, far outweighs whatever merits the food may have. I've rarely seen service this bad. From the start, it was bad and then it only got worse and worse.

While waiting for our table, we tried to get a drink. The bartender could not have been more uninterested in serving us. When she finally got around to it (and the bar wasn't that packed), she literally took almost five minutes just to pour the drink. That would have been long enough, except she didn't serve it at that point. Instead, she left it on the bar, out of my reach, while she played with the computer. Why play with the computer? So she could give me the bill, which she eventually did, but BEFORE she handed me my wine. In other words, I got the bill for my drink before I actually got the drink. Classy.

I'll summarize the rest of the visit this way: when we were seated it took an eternity to see the waiter, it then took an eternity to get my wife's drink and even longer for me to get another glass of wine, it was another eternity before the appetizers showed up, and then another for the main course, which we were told several times would be out in "just a minute". Frankly, the most responsive person there was the busboy. I have no idea what the manager thought, because he didn't bother to come to the table. I do, however, know what some of their other patrons thought, since I could hear them complaining about the same issues.

I say this without exaggeration, there are few times in my life I've seen service this terrible and unapologetically so. Sorry Savona, but I think you and I are done.
