Decent food, but service was terrible. Our server didn't ask what choices we wanted with our dishes, didn't try to upsell us any salads, and spent a total of 10 seconds at our table of 7 people after taking our orders. \n\nOne of the orders was completely wrong (onion and mushroom burger, no cheese; came with no mushrooms or onions, but plenty of cheese) and when we sent it back with a clear explanation, it came back wrong again.\n\nThe waitress came back to refill water only once or twice throughout the course of the meal, and was quick to return to other tables (ones that didn't have an automatic 20% gratuity built in because they had fewer than 6 people). She was rude, uppity and clearly thought she had better things to do. \n\nTruly disappointing for a setting and building of this caliber. The view is outstanding, and out on the deck having drinks and eating stuffed olives would have earned Verrado Grille a 4 out of 5. Terrible service soured the entire experience.\n\n---\nUPDATE: 3/8/2011\n\nI'm pleased to report that the exec. chef from the restaurant read my review and sent me a very nice note. It's a good sign when a chef holds himself accountable for the restaurant as a whole and doesn't make excuses, so I'm reasonably certain our bad experience was a fluke. Next time we eat at VG I'm hoping poor service won't detract from the food, and I can re-rate it higher.
