I was so upset and annoyed with this dining experience and it became stressful and felt unwelcoming.
I planned for BYOB with corkage fee and called ahead and was told corkage is $25 per bottle, very fair corkage
The lousy experience started when we walked through the door. We had an early reservation, and the house was empty when we arrived. Right off the bat, we were taken to the worst table, we asked to be moved and they stuck us at another table with a crack in the seat. We finally got a decent table but not without some sneers and disgust from the hostess. Very awkward!
I told the waiter I brought my own wine. I opened a white and took out the red for our main course. I was now told they have a strict one bottle per table of two persons policy
I was told when I called it was $25 per bottle. And no information about a one bottle policy. They would not bend.
New ownership given as reason. I asked when they got new ownership…waiter told me 2 years ago—-WTF! They should have made an exception for this visit. But they clearly told me on phone corkage was $25 per bottle, with no mention of a bottle limit.
Food was good, but nothing special. We had been to One 53 several times in past, Started with mushroom soup that was good. Pork chop which was cooked nicely, but a sauce would make it better and a few leaves of lettuce was their idea of field greens? Would have preferred any other side over fries and ketchup.
Also, stuffed shrimp and grilled Caesar salad and shared broccoli rabe and sausage side.
To recap: The place was empty when we got there. They tried to seat us at the worst table in the house to start. After a couple of iterations, we finally got an acceptable table.
I opened my Chardonnay, we ordered our meals and then we were told about the Wine policy. Had I known they would be so unbending, I would’ve opened the red that I had planned for the meat course. Waited to write this.
I’m still upset!
