After two weeks of prying and badgering from a friend I was finally coerced into dinner at Casanova. Nestled warmly over the widely beloved Velvet Lounge, we found a large table to seat our 10+ people. Looking around, not another soul outside of our group in sight, aside from the staff that is. This took place on a Thursday night if I remember correctly.
About the staff... They were attentive and 4 strong at the beginning of the night. As the clock ticked by we saw the waiters/waitresses decrease steadily in number and the food was yet to arrive. After a second bottle of wine, the absent service and food became the topic of our table. Oh, did I forget to mention that a mysterious non-stop supply of insect wings was consistently piling up on our end of the table? I stared at the ceiling for at least 15 minutes without a clue as to their origin. Yet, without fail, they continued to replenish themselves each time we would wipe them away with a napkin. The waitress did apologize for it though, telling me that it was because it had been raining so much...? I don't get it either.
After our food did come it wasn't half bad. I wouldn't say it was worth the ridiculous prices, but above edible. I don't mind to pay a high price if the ambiance is good, and the service is above average, but its not my job to keep the table free of debris.
