The times I had been here before was for dinner and both the food and the service were excellent. The waitress said she could not do that because the drinks were already in the system, again umm what? My friend continued to argue with her to no avail, however she did say she could comp a new drink, so after all that I was like yes please bring me another glass of wine! I don’t think I will return here for for brunch but I may consider dinner. She said that they could make the same thing with turkey instead, I agreed to this but now my friend Angela was quite annoyed and asked to have our drinks comped. The waitress then came back again and informed me that the third item I ordered was also no longer available-umm what? They were out chicken. We agreed to move and off she went again. She did say she could comp a new drink, so after all that I was like yes please bring me another glass of wine!I placed my order and off she went. While we were waiting for our food the waitress returned and asked if we wouldn’t mind moving tables as we had been seated at three top and now there was a three person party waiting for a table. So she brought the menu back for me to choose a third item. Then when I ordered what I wanted I was told by the waitress that she forget to inform us that what I ordered was no longer available, then I was going to go for the second item on the menu and she said that too was no longer available. First we had a bit of wait at the door along with a small crowd of other people waiting to be seated. I have been to Almar before and have always had a great experience but this time it was definitely an off day for them. We met at Almar which is at 111 Front street and located in the heart of the business district. Though I must say it is still manageable compared to other areas of the city. But the waterfront is beautiful, it was redone a few years ago and I can see why it attracts such large crowds. Mainly in the sheer number of people there now, it is starting to feel a wee bit like an amusement park, and I don’t know if that is a good thing. It really is incredible how many neighborhoods have changed over the years and even in the seven years that I have been back in New York I have seen a change in DUMBO. My friend Angela and I decided to head to DUMBO in Brooklyn for some brunch and a stroll along the water front. This weekend was lovely in New York, a bit hot but not unbearable.
