Pat's
used
to
be
great,
so
we
chose
it
again
tonight
for
our
anniversary
dinner.
Turned
out
to
be
a
bad
call.
Service
was
very,
very
slow.
Long
wait
just
to
get
water
after
we
were
seated.
Our
server
didn't
seem
very
happy
to
be
there.
Appetizers
came
relatively
promptly.
The
fig
and
prosciutto
flatbread
was
absolutely
fabulous,
as
were
the
stuffies.
Salads
were...uninspiring.
Couple
of
olives,
couple
of
underripe
grape
tomatoes,
iceberg
lettuce,
plastic
cup
of
dressing.
We
then
waited
almost
a
full
hour
before
our
entrees
arrived.
No
one
checked
on
us
or
refilled
our
drinks
in
the
interim.
The
AC
was
dripping
water
onto
the
floor
right
next
to
us.
Other
diners
arrived
after
we
did,
ate
and
left
while
we
waited.
Finally,
the
entrees
arrived
after
the
place
was
locked
up
for
the
night.
The
busboy
was
packing
up
tables.
The
hostess
was
washing
the
windows.
No
apology
from
the
waitress
for
the
delay.
Veal
parmesan
was
tender
and
delicious,
just
like
we
remembered
it.
Then
came
the
chicken
saltimbocca,
which
was
absolutely
terrible.
The
chicken
had
a
weird,
stringy
texture
and
odd
flavor,
like
it
had
been
boiled.
The
prosciutto,
mozzarella
and
mushrooms
on
top
collectively
had
no
flavor
at
all.
The
"mushroom
marsala
wine
sauce"
seemed
to
have
no
acquaintance
with
either
mushrooms
or
marsala;
it
was
weak
and
only
vaguely
chicken-y.
Overall,
the
dish
was
woefully
underseasoned,
pale,
bland
and
unappealing.
We
explained
to
the
server.
She
took
it
back
to
the
kitchen
and
it
was
taken
off
the
bill.
By
that
time,
our
anniversary
dinner
was
a
bust
and
we
were
the
last
party
left
in
the
place.
We
boxed
up
the
veal
and
left
without
coffee
or
dessert.
