Sheryl recommended this place for dinner. Had never heard of it, but it came highly recommended by some local foodies. Had a reservation at 7, so we went to the Pier before dinner. Arrived a little early and got a table inside. Cute place and the menu looked good. A little overpriced, but this is Naples, after all.I ordered a salad with grilled chicken. $17... Seems pricey for a salad, but paid $6 for a 1/2 salad the night before at Lansdowne Street that I could barely finish. When the salad arrived, I was shocked it was so small. Hardly any lettuce. The chicken was delicious, the goat cheese was good... But it felt like a sample. So when the server asked how everything was going, I told her. Then a manager, maybe the owner, comes over and starts asking me about the salad. I explained that I had a salad the night before that was huge for a fraction of the price. She asks, “Did it have goat cheese on it?” No. “That’s why,” she says. I explained the salad was huge, had different meats, cheeses, etc. It felt like she was arguing with me... Didn’t sit well.When the server comes back she asked again how everything was. She was good... Told her she was in a better mood than her boss. She laughed and the lady comes back to the table. She asked if I would like to leave... Then told me she would have got me something else. Why didn’t she ask me if I wanted something else before? Then she tells me she, “hope I never see you again.” She also said I was being “nasty.” I wasn’t. As a matter of fact, I was in a great mood throughout dinner.On top of all that, throughout dinner I noticed she was playing games on the iPad. Oh, and someone must have dumped salt on the table because I noticed her pour salt in her hand at a table then toss it over her shoulder.The food was great. Just small portions. It was also overpriced. But the experience I had with this lady put a sour taste in my mouth. She didn’t want me to come back, anyway. I won’t. I assure you. Hope others that dine here have a better experience than me. Because that was not what I expected. Bummer.
