Dux Should Be Avoided
by travelhound
My husband and I attemped to dine here on 1/28/06 with friends after a meeting. We were seated at our table with only a wine menu. After approximately 20 minutes, we had to ask for dinner menus. We ordered our dinner. Forty-five minutes later, no food. We complained to the maitre d' who rushed our appetizers and gave us a complimentary bottle of wine. Half an hour goes by, no entrees and no waiter. Meanwhile, a couple had sat next to us half an hour after we were seated and they were on dessert. We then decided to walk out of the restaurant. We saw the maitre d' on the way out and he just let us go. He knew the service had been absolutely awful and the best way to deal with it was to just let us go. It was the worst dinner experience I have ever had.
