  On a night like New Years eve, you cannot expect that everything goes perfect. Besides, who `points` at a menu anyway? Whatever happened to saying, `I'll have the...whatever` You said that you accidentally pointed to the wrong menu item. As you can obviously tell from what YOU wrote, thats your fault. And since I have been to Mediterraneo's I can say that I am sure the incorrect item YOU pointed to probably cost between 20 and 30 $. Now, certainly it would have been nice for the manager to give you the item you intended to `point` at, but you cant expect a restaurant to make up for your mistake especially on new years eve. There is no excuse for a cold steak, but as far as a fork goes, you cannot expect the waiter to read your mind. With 3 or 4 more tables he is waiting on, why not just ask? They may not have noticed they took your fork with them. Certainly cassarinos has great food and service...but they are not the same kind of food...and not the same atmosphere. I loved eating at Mediterraneo's and I think that anyone reading this girls review would know that you had a single bad experience there and that does not merit such a horrible review. The food, service and atmosphere are stellar.

    Don't eat at Mediterraneo! My boyfriend & I chose to spend our first New Years eve at this restaurant. BIG mistake. This is a place who wants the customers and turn over tables but not concerned if you are happy or if you come back. I had an awful experience that pretty much ruined this special, what was supposed to be romantic, evening. I accidentally pointed to the wrong entree on the menu. When something different came out, I asked the waiter what happened. He told me this is what I ordered. The manager came over and simply said, "What do you want us to do?" I was then told by the manager that it would take an additional 45 minutes to order what I thought I ordered, giving me the impression that I was a huge inconcenience. Meanwhile, the table next to me, who was extremely unhappy with their evening there, told me they ordered the dish and it came out within 10 minutes. So, basically they lied and stuck me with a 35.00 entree that they knew I was unhappy with. My boyfriend ordered the filet, which would have been great, if it was even lukewarm. We had sent it back, and it came back, minutes later at the exact same temperature, minus a fork. We waited for what seemed like eternity for our waiter so we could get a fork. My boyfriend ended up eating his filet with a tiny seafood fork. Knowing how unhappy we were the manager did nothing to help us with an enormous bill, and we were never offered coffee or dessert. The couple next to us got their entrees within 10 minutes of arrival and their appetizers never made it out. They left unhappy, we left unhappy and the restaurant didn't seem to care. I wouldn't return if they paid me! Same yourself the trip. Casserinos is 10 times better food & service, in addition to the 100 others on the street. -- 1/3/2005 6:08:15 PM
