Read moreI have visited Bistecca several times in the past and it has always been a 5-star experience; however, my wife and I were there just recently and it was the absolute worst fine-dinning experience we have ever encountered. The service was mediocre, the food was bland, and management failed to resolve our issues. I ordered the Cajun Ribeye, medium-rare and my wife ordered the Fillet, medium. My steak arrived medium-well and my wife's arrived rare. We didn't mind the mistake, and kindly asked for our steaks to be prepared properly. I received a new steak; however it was blue-rare (look it up if you are not familiar with "blue-rare"). My wife got her's back black on the outside and it had been severely overcooked to a medium-well to well-done. I tried a bite and blue-rare was just too much for me, so I asked for them once again to have my steak resolved. My wife told the manager that her steak was too overcooked for her liking, but she didn't want to wait again for a new steak. Mine came back the exact same (blue-rare) and when I was asked to cut into the steak and approve of the temperature I replied "I'll work with what I have" as at this point, I was ready to eat anything that wasn't mooing. In addition to all of this, we heard the table to the left of us send a steak back and the table to the right of us send a steak back... I'm not sure whom they had cooking these steaks, but the service was also lacking and the managers did nothing to rectify the situations. We may return one day, but I would advise anyone to not visit until they get new...
Read moreNormally I would easily Give 5 stars however when u reserve a table for your children and husband (5 total) and when you arrive you must sit at different tables it is very irritating . We go atleast once a month and I was so thrilled to have my children with us all together. We asked 3 different times if we could even let them pull up a chair to sit with us and were told “no” Another family proceeds to do just that and nothing is said. Then 2 tables were reset due to “no shows” which sat 6 people so I then again asked if we could be seated at that table and again told “no” while those tables sat empty the entire time we were there and my family sat away from me. Just very heart breaking and disappointing bc we have gotten To know and love the staff. We have never experienced this anywhere else ever and to be denied 3x I felt was very unprofessional and sad - we didn’t take it upon ourselves to move we asked polietlyt but that did not matter to anyone- I was so excited to spend a nice dinner with them and I couldn’t even talk to 2 of them. Handled very inappropriately. Food was great as usual
I want to just say that upon our next visit we were approached and it was made clear that this wouldn’t ever be a problem again in addition to a gift card towards our next meal. We were very pleasantly surprised at how kind and generous everyone was to us after they were made aware of our situation. Thank you for everything it was very much appreciated ! We hope to get our children back up with us sometime soon. Food once again delicious and thank you for...
