Atmosphere and food were great. Our server was pushy about getting us to order our entree —- to the point of making us uncomfortable. We could not enjoy our drinks and appetizers because he kept interrupting to see if we were ready to order our entrees. This started before our appetizers even arrived. The server developed an attitude because we wouldn’t rush for him. This was only 20 minutes into our evening. We go there for drinks, and conversation around appetizers and to eventually order a main course. Not to be made to feel like we are being hurried along through a line receiving plate lunches to be cleared out as soon as possible for the next table. (We can get that experience much cheaper and in multiples places) It was the kind of service that turns a customer off of a place. I may go back but will refuse service from that particular server in the future.
Marcello's of LafayetteResponded on August 29, 2023
We are sincerely sorry that you received unsatisfactory and rushed service from our staff! It is of utmost importance to us that each guest enjoys their dining experience at their own pace. We are glad Marcello's is a place where you go to relax and enjoy good food and drinks! Our General Manager has addressed this individually with the staff member, and will ensure this will not happen again. Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us, we greatly appreciate your feedback.
