Four of us dined at Senti on Saturday. We had 4 starters and 4 entrees plus drinks and a bottle of wine. When one person did not care for their drink they willingly took it back & brought something else. The wine list had a nice range of wines so that not every bottle was extremely high priced. Here they opened the wine, put it on the table and never touched it again. I always think to myself that if I am going to be tipping at the same rate for the bottle of wine as the food that there should be service related the wine. I almost never follow through with that, but I did last night because I also felt that the service was not stellar, so for the first time I tipped lower than I would normally. The food was very good. We had not been to the restaurant in a few years because it was inconsistent previously. I have to say on this trip — everything was very good. More on the server, I would not say that she was a bad server, but she was not particularly attentive and a couple times she responded in a way that sounded like she was irritated. For example: the first 2 people had been there for 10 minutes or so when the other 2 arrived. They had already had their drinks. She came over to ask about our drinks and when I said we hadn’t really fully looked at the wine list yet and I was about to ask her advice, she had already walked away. When she came back, she took our wine glasses away. Then she did not take a drink order, but immediately launched into telling us the specials. Halfway through a couple of us asked questions & she pointedly said ‘we will wait on that. I have a lot to get through here.’ Later with all 4 starters on the table we mentioned we’d like some time before our entrées, she abruptly said she hadn’t fired the entrées yet. Again, it wasn’t that she did anything really wrong. Her tone was just abrupt and maybe disinterested? But overall, we really did enjoy our experience at Senti and would be happy to return.

We had a great evening eating at the bar. Holly does a great job of pacing the dinner service and recommending wine & drinks. Our favorite appetizers, Fritto Misto & Carciofi were prefectly prepared by Chef Antonio. I enjoyed the signature Lasagna and my husband loved the Mezze Maniche all" Amatriciana. Franco is an incredibly gracious host and makes our visits so much fun!
