“service beyond bad (we ate at the bar, and our bartender was a grouchy asshole). we had a casual weeknight dinner at Fiat Cafe a week later (let's be honest a middle of the road place) and we agreed the food was better.”

replying to u/CP81818: I was at Marea recently with a group of five friends, first course dishes were all delivered to the incorrect people, and one dish was just fully incorrect and not what anyone had ordered. Waiter isn't particularly apologetic and it took longer to get the corrected dish than it did for the starters to come out in the first place. Second course arrives, one pasta is incorrect and another just doesn't arrive. Waiter somewhat dismissively says he must have misheard, doesn't apologize, and goes off to put in the missing pasta and the incorrect pasta. Unclear why he didn't think there might be something wrong when he had five pastas for six people and it was clear we weren't sharing dishes. It was quite loud in the restaurant so I understand mishearing, but at that point it was comical and his lack of apologies/comping literally anything was surprising to everyone at the table.
“Had some bad service at Marea. Few months before the pandemic. It was bad in the sense that it just wasn't Michelin level which is what you expect at places with such designation.”
