Overall, friendly service and lovely ambiance. There were two things that left us disappointed.
The first, when I was making the reservation it specifically asked ‘are you celebrating anything with us?’. Normally I wouldn’t write anything in the notes, but it specifically asked so I wrote that we were celebrating our 9th wedding anniversary. At no point during our experience at Tuscan Terrance (other than during the hotel check in portion hours before our dinner reservation) was it mentioned, either by the host that sat us or our server. Why ask if you’re not going to do anything with the information. We were not expecting anything free, just a simple “congratulations”.
The second, I ordered my steak medium rare and it came out medium well at best. I waited 5 minutes for our server to reappear and the next time we saw her was almost 30 minutes later when she came to clear our plates. I ate the steak (which was over cooked and thus bland) purely because I didn’t not want to be the crazy lady rushing across the restaurant to find someone. At no point in our entire dining experience were we actually asked how our food was.
As I said, overall, friendly service, however it is missing a few elements that make it truly great dining.
