Visited with friends last night and was highly disappointed. We've been to Dunwoody's Intermezzo several times for drinks & desserts but never food, and never again will we make that mistake. We were underwhelmed by the menu, my friend immediately called Eclipse Di Luna to ask for their wait times, though my fiancé and I insisted we gave Cafe Intermezzo a try and thought "ok, surely with these limited options they'd master these dishes". Friends had: raspberry french toast (which was drenched in jam and had to wait an additional 15 minutes for Log Cabin syrup), Chicken Florentine (which had weird pieces of slimy chicken in it). Another had a traditional American breakfast which was mediocre. Then me? Smoked salmon pasta. The salmon was so over salted, if there were capers and dill in it I'd of never tasted it because I sure as heck didn't see them either. Waiter asked if all was well, I said no, he did not hear me, I said it again because I truly did not like it. I've had the same dish better at Crispina's in Kennesaw. Given that we've enjoyed our experiences before, I wanted to give them another opportunity to wow me. Although our waiter was flustered, running into guests, and overall in 3 million places at once he promptly said he'd replace the dish with something else, which I did not expect after he said that's just "how the dish is". I thought he was going to be argumentative. After reviewing the menu again, I noticed a roast beef au jus sandwich and asked for it verbatim as it read on the menu. Was really excited for it! Waited another 30 minutes, waiter came out and handed it to me. Fiancé and I asked where the au jus sauce was, waiter said "oh that doesn't come with the ham and cheese". That's when I was finished. My entire table heard me say what I wanted, and they were embarrassed and also wanted to leave at this point. I explained to the waiter I did not want this, and do not want anything to replace it, and did not want a dessert. I was done. Shortly after the manager came up to the table. I understand that he needed to receive a clear understanding of where the mistake fell, although I really did not feel like having to explain my experience and did not ask for a manager. I stated this with the manager, I don't want to be angry, I do not want cake, comp the meal and we will likely still be back for drinks and dessert as it seems like that's what they specialize in. He had mentioned the ham and cheese, causing me to talk about the issue and embarrassing me and my friends again. I suggest to whomever reviews this: that management speaks to servers regarding poor service first, and if the party wishes to speak to management then do so. I had high expectations for Cafe Intermezzo, despite their 3 rating, so antagonizing me after I clearly stated I did not wish to discuss our experience, put the nail in the coffin. We will unfortunately not be back.
