As a frequent customer who's been to this restaurant at least 8 times, I have been disappointed the last couple of times I've gone, but this last experience was likely the strangest dining experience I've ever had. We had a reservation for 2 for a Saturday night date night and we dressed up for the occasion. We were lead up to the 3rd floor after walking past many available tables on the 2 main floors. The 3rd floor unfortunately is a completely different ambience, it was no longer nice white table clothes or a dimly lit romantic atmosphere, we ate on picnic table red and white checkered clothes with mismatched colored napkins etc, but I shrugged it off, trying not to be disappointed. We were the only people up there and it was dead quiet w/o music or chatter, which was odd, but I hoped that more people would eventually be sat up there to fill the eerie silence. I tried to stay positive and told myself that we got a "private dining experience". But then the waitress hovered us while we looked at and discussed the menu, standing about 3 feet behind my partner staring at me intensely, waiting for us to pick our choices and listening. I found it very difficult to focus and discuss choices but just picked as quickly as I could so we could move on. Once we ordered I was relieved because I thought we might get a little privacy but she stood there staring at me the entire 1.5 hours, listening to every word of our conversation, watching me eat every single bite of my meal. She left twice for about 30 seconds each time. Every time I looked up she was staring at me and again, she was only 3-4 feet away. No one else was ever seated up on the 3rd floor with us. I felt so incredibly uncomfortable, and we could not have any intimate conversation because she was clearly eavesdropping everything. There was a place for her around the corner where she could have sat while we ate to give us some time to enjoy the meal but she stayed put and stared directly at me the whole time, watching me. I kept nervously looking at her between bites hoping she would get the clue but she didn't. I'm still shaken up that this experience wasn't a dream, or a nightmare, and don't know that I'd go back there again for fear of this happening again.
The food was decent and came out pretty quick, which was nice!
