The restaurant was not full, we were not begging for a table, there is no reason to even have that table there because you are only giving your customer a bad experience. Am I being a brat? maybe, but we were trying to have a celebratory dinner and for me, at $500 for a meal (we come from the hospitality industry so we tip very generously) is a lot off money. I have never actually been so effected by my seating situation. My son got the Cinnabun dessert to go and we were out of there. We got a beet salad and avocado/tuna tostada (tuna app at $24 was quite pricey) for apps which were good and also the lamb spring roll. The fries were decent and the steak, thank goodness, was high quality. The Carrots were way over salted and also drenched and swimming in way too much sauce. The Chinese Broccoli which was drenched in a gross brown sauce, ruining the actual flavor of the vegetable. I got the chicken which was tasty yet raw at the bone. The family ordered the 'Thors Hammer Cut' steak at $180. Unfortunately the food did not make it better or 'worth' it. I wanted to move tables but my family felt that would be embarrassing (teenagers) so I 'dealt' with it. So yes, I spent my entire $500 meal watching the bussers wash and arrange glasses behind my daughters head, while also getting a cold draft up my legs from the open entry way in front of me. Corner booth where I had a server station directly on my left and my view was of a wall to the near right and the bussers station directly in front of me. As soon as we were seated I realized we had to have the absolute worst seat in the house. We were treating ourselves and our teenage children to a fancy, expensive, holiday meal. Made a reservation through the hotel Concierge for Sat. We were staying at Aviara for the weekend.
