**To read up on the main reason we left, go to where things got weird.
Upon arrival, my parents and I were seated right away but it was all downhill from there.
The restaurant consist of a two-part dining area with the kitchen separating both sections. One section dark & cozy...the other, brighter with a full bar.
Anyway, although the brighter dining area was practically empty, we were seated at the last available table of the smaller room where all the tables were occupied, along with a party of 15+ occupying the remainder of the area. We initially dealt with it BUT 20mns later, additional guests of the party continued to arrive & the staff continued to seat them up against us, after we had been served, and ultimately crowding us in and constantly interrupting our initial course (fried calamari/bottle of CabSav).
Again no biggie. I simply followed our server away & politely asked if we could be seated in the less occupied area. He acknowledged my request & offered apologies. I warmly stated "it's understandable, they're clearly having a family gathering & would like their group to remain together. Why don't we make some room for them and simply relocate?"
The server acknowledged my suggestion & we were discretely relocated.
So now, after being seated in the larger area for an another 20mns, we were still waiting on our 2nd app (which was ordered at the same time as our first, along with our initial bottle of wine) so we decided to order another bottle & kindly reminded our server that we were still awaiting our 2nd app. We also let him know that we were aware of how busy he was due to the large party & that we should perhaps order our main course, so we did.
About 10mns later, our server returned with our 2nd bottle, opened it...but still no app. So we continued to drink, patiently waiting for it and now, our main course as well.
It finally arrived15mns later, but by now we were 1/2 way through our second wine bottle which we were kinda' hoping to have with our main course.
Remember, this was over an hour after we had been seated & by now I noticed that my father had become a little irate, so I attempted to unwind him by suggesting that I was nonetheless enjoying their company & that I was in no hurry, but as our waiter repeatedly passed by our table without any further affirmation, my father finally managed to get his attention and firmly; but diplomatically suggested that he follow up on our order, then excused himself and proceeded to the restroom.
**So this is when things got really weird & I finally drew the line.
As my father was away from the table, my mother & I continued to discuss personal matters when out of nowhere, a random woman wearing a scarf, walked slowly by our table, stopped, gave us both a peculiar look, & proceeded to walk away. "Do you know her?" I asked my mother. She replied with "Doesn't look familiar but perhaps I've dealt with her in the past.", so we ignored her & continued our conversation.
Shortly after, with my father still away from the table & still waiting on our food, I decided to get up to get a copy of the NewTimes in order to distract him for when he'd return, but upon my return to the table, I noticed the same woman back at our table, only now in unusually close proximity to my mother and thought to myself, "oh, guess it turns out that she does know her afterall.
Well get this. As I approached the table, I could clearly hear her scolding my mother & using harsh language as my mother sat in confusion. Naturally, I interrupted her and firmly asked "What is going on here?! Who are you & why are you insulting my mother?!" In slurring words she stated "I am the owner's wife & we have cameras!!" WTF?! I quickly noticed what appeared to be an intoxicated female & replied with, "Ma'am, what are you accusing us of & why have you interrupted our dinner? She disgracefully continued "I'm the owner's wife & I'm calling him right now!!" I then replied with "Excuse me madam, did we request your assistance?!" & asked again "Who are you & why have you interrupted our dinner?". Well, this time, as she staggered away, phone to ear, she disclosed her name, which I could barely understand (Nidia, Lidia or Lehya, not sure).
My father returned to the table as the commotion escalated & was clearly confused as well. At the same time, the delirious woman stumbled to the bar area & eventually disappeared as one of the servers came to us attempting to smooth things out, so I turned it down a notch & proceeded to ask him who she was. "She's the owner's wife." he reluctantly replied as our food arrived. Well that wasn't the end of it but I'm running out of character space here so we demanded our check, paid for what we consumed & attempted to leave without further incidents but encountered a few other issues on our way out.
Needless to say, our experience here was just horrible & we would obviously not recommend Mylos.
