text: Well my review is going to sound like all the others its seems... We went on Valentines day for lunch. Never been there before. Cute patio, beautiful decorating and design. The specialty drink list was on our table. My boyfriend and I thought we'd try the Feliz 13. Our server then informed us that there wasnt a bartender and that he would try to make it but no guarantees. No bartender on Valentines Day? No thanks. I stuck with the tastless \"green tea\". We were never offered the popular bread and hummus that I read about. Ordered the mussels for appetizer, waited an extremely long time, and upon arrival the mussels where dried out like they had been sitting under a heating lamp. I was excited to taste them because I love mussels... but no go. It tasted like old mayonaise melted in watered down butter. There were bits of orange peel, onion and red chili pepper in the sauce which was too much and I asked my self, \"does the chef taste the food that hes making?\" Our server never came back to ask if it was ok, and for the amount of time we waited for it, we were hungry so we ate it. Strike one. \nThen we ordered the over priced \"greek salad\"... Ok people.. Ive been to Greece twice. This was no \"greek salad\". It was pickled cucumbers mixed with shredded lettuce piled in a little ball on top of an old sour piece of purple cabbage with some kind of red pepper sauce on the side. It was so small we ate it in two bites and it tasted like store bought italian dressing. Server never checked on us again so we ate it hoping the meal would get better. Strike two... and im still hungry!\nOk now we waited Id say about another 45 minutes for a pannini and the gnocchi. It said on the menu that they make all their pasta so I began to wonder if they were out in the back slaving over fresh pasta and baking the bread fresh in a brick oven like in italy....nope... when we finally were served our meal it was a big let down. By now weve sat for almost two hours and Im frikin starving... The gnocchi was in the same sauce as the mussels!!, flavorless, watery and cold. I really wanted to take it back to the kitchen and have Chef Payton (the prized Chef they brag about) taste it. Dont forget the pannini my boyfriend ordered...  it was burnt to hell..  The piece of bread on top was mildly burned but when he flipped it over it was completely burnt black!! One big piece of charcoal with a few slices of meat in the middle. Ive worked in the food industry for twenty years and would have NEVER served that to my customers! You always look at the food first before you serve it and ask yourself, \"would I eat this?, \"does this look right?\" We flagged our server down and told him that it wasnt acceptable. He was concerned about it and immediately returned our food to the kitchen. Strike three... we were done at that point. \nI was still starving and now really frustrated. I looked at my boyfriend and said, \" f this, lets go somewhere else\". So I went to the hostess and asked for the manager. She gave me a blank look and said, \"uuuughhhh\"... what they dont have a manager either? Is he playing golf with the bartender today? I looked at her and said, \"nevermind\"... then I asked the next employee that walked by for the manager and she acted like it was an imposition. So we stood there and waited for someone to help us find the manager. Every employee we asked had no clue what to do. Then some woman approached us, who failed to introduce herself and stated that everyone was in a meeting with the owner of the building. She began arguing with us about the food. She asked us why we ate the first two dishes. I told her we were starving at that point, no one came back to see if we liked it and we were hoping that the meal would get better. I told her it was our first time and we were giving it a chance until the charcoal sandwich came and thats what ended it for us. She wanted us to come back in and wait longer for them to try to remake the food. Thanks but no thanks.. Im so frikin hungry at this point I wouldve eaten Taco Bell and been happy. I told her no, the food was flavorless, over priced and under portioned. It was like they were trying be \"gourmet\" by putting everything on little white plates and drizzle the decoration on.. Let me tell you.. any person from Italy or Croatia wouldve laughed. The owners brag about how theyve incorporated dishes from all over the world into their menu. Well they need to actually go to those places and take some pointers. Twenty page wine list is probably the only thing they cant screw up. So if you want to look cool sitting on the patio on Mill and drink wine with three pieces of \"rustic bread\" with olive oil on it then go for it. But I want a frikin meal. I dont care how much it costs, it better taste good. We walked up to Gordon Beirsch and were served big plates of hot yummy food and cold beer within twenty minutes of sitting down. Valentines day didnt turn out so bad after all... poor Caffe Boa.. we wont be back.
