Guido's Restaurant

• Nothing.
• Atmosphere, food, service.

“It's hard to know where to begin. Quite simply, this was the worst dining experience I have ever had. When we called for reservations, we were told that they had high chairs--but, upon our arrival they had none. Our waitress literally quit half way through the meal, leaving just ONE server for the entire restaurant. The calamari appetizer tasted like boiled noodles with a hint of fish. Our entrees were actually inedible. Not to mention, I never received my pasta that was supposed to accompany the meal. The hidden garlic bread charge was the icing on the cake. The prices were quite high, making this experience highway robbery. By the way, they don't accept credit cards--although this is not posted anywhere.”

• They did a great job with the new space.
• Service.

“After months of anxiously awaiting the opening of the new Down city, I was very disappointed. The place was beautiful, - but the portions were not the same, and the prices were crazy. $9 for a very small glass of wine is an example. There service was ok,- but not great- and the owner acted like the customers were there for her instead of the other way around. I will not be going back”

3 Steeple Street Restaurant

Overall Rating: 6
Food:[6] • Service:[7] • Atmosphere:[7]

• Nice atmosphere - old building and rustic feel.
• Over-priced special menu for Waterfire.

“Went to 3 Steeple Street on a Waterfire night because it was reviewed as having a varied menu from sandwiches to fancy meals. Made reservations, but was never told that on Waterfire nights, they have a very limited menu that is much pricier on average than their usual menu. That is understandable; a chance to profit from a big event but if a restaurant wants to go high end for a night, the restaurant should strive to produce high-end results. 3 Steeple Street did not. Much of the food was mediocre, lukewarm, uninspired seafood chowder, bland salmon dish with too little of the compote meant to give it flavor to go around. The portions were generous, but just nothing special. The server we had was also just average, though another server who was tending to a large party nearby seemed great. This may be a good restaurant for a basic night out, but I can't recommend for Waterfire.”

729 Hope Cafe

Overall Rating: 1
Service:[1] • Atmosphere:[1]

• It's a free country, so I choose to never go back.
• Going there put a sour note on a relatively nice day.

“Awful! Incredibly rude wait staff put me off entirely. I did not eat there, so cannot make a claim for the food -- I just wanted a tea, but it was apparently a huge inconvenience for the wait staff. It was not even busy but the staff behind the counter were surly and downright rude, not just to me, but to anyone who wanted to order it seemed.”
