Breakfast Mistake
We decided to try a new place for breakfast . . . So on Sunday we tested out Caffetto. It was a bust. The service was by far the worst. We couldn't order to save our life. The waiter served just about everyone around us but us. Finally, I asked one of the guys to get our waiter now. Brian wanted to know if I was going East Coast on him. I said yes and threw in a F bomb and a GD. :) This freaked out the wait staff and the manager scurried over. Lucia . . . was the manager at Prime Grill 2 days prior. I recognized her and asked her about it. She was flustered and apologized. I let her know that I just wanted to order, I didn't really care about anything else at this point. To wait 20 minutes to order was not making me happy.
The food was not so good. Tasteless. I give them 1 star. Brian said anytime we have to wait on others to bring us food is dicey at this new resort. I have to agree. I think I scared them. I was still polite with the thank you and please, just the tone was harsh and I explicitly explained what I wanted so that there were no misunderstandings. (So that there is no misunderstandings, we will not accept clunkers . . . ) The power gave out twice while we were eating. Good thing we brought a flashlight. We were prepared.
Rest of the day
The entire day was raining, punctuated with downpour and 20 mph winds. I slept the day away. I woke up just for the spa at 4:30 which was totally packed. I had never seen so many people there. It was due to the rain.
Dinner at Chinese side of Tao
Chef Ramsey would have been horrified. I was horrified. It took them 15 minutes to get a us a menu. We gave up and I grabbed my own menu which immediately tipped off the waiters that I wasn't pleased. There were so many things wrong I give this restaurant a 0 star. I should have brought my camera to take pictures. The Pad Thai was made with vermicelli noodles. The Japanese Udon dish was made with spaghetti rice noodles. The meat was inedible and bitter. The miso soup was lukewarm and missing miso, tofu and chives. I'm not sure what the hell it was. The sashimi was cut in weird 1.5 inch squares. The eel roll was missing eel. The red spicy tuna salad was actually not bad. I give it a 3.
The entire meal took us 1.5 hours. 1 hour of it was waiting for service. We are going to try them again but next time, we are sitting at the sushi bar to watch them.
