Okay, not all bad service, the bartender was pleasant and can make a good cocktail. I would know this because it took forever to be acknowledged by anyone else to get our table so we sat at the bar waiting. Let's start at the beginning. The valet was nowhere to be seen and there was no parking. We took a chance and parked in a business parking spot figuring it was afterhours. Going inside we were pretty much ignored except by the bartender. My friend asked for a glass of water and it was the worst tasting tap water you could imagine. Seriously we would willingly pay for the bottled water if we knew. During this time at the bar, one of the waiters kept coming up for drinks and while standing there proceeded to complain about it being busy, shorthanded and the customers. He even looked at us and kept going. We prayed he wouldn't be one of our waiters. (Thankfully he was not) After finally being seated, our two waiters (you're suppose to have 2) took turns coming to our table. Lest I say, after telling them that I was going to have wine they didn't bother giving me the wine list until it was time to order and I asked for it. Ordering probably took at least 15 minutes, that doesn't include the time to make up our minds. The redeeming part of this was the food. It was cooked perfectly. I liked the lobster chimi, I know there is another review to the contrary. They were very good on getting us ready to go. I had always known Vincent's to be one of the top restaurants, but I wonder if Vincent actually knows what is happening.
Pros: The food tells you why you are paying so much
Cons: Service, Parking
