We knew that this being Italian themed and more of a pizza place we would get a pizzabread type garlic bread. So no surprises there.
The Bread was pre-cut and arrived on the wooden platter - which showed the previous cuts being made on the board.
The Cheese topping drowned out any other flavour, and was a little bit oily.
We were ready to majorly downgrade this effort when the waiter arrived and surprise surprise asked the correct question = namely "HOW is garlic bread?"
Now you have to forgive me -
I am saddened and sick and tiered of waitress staff asking "closed" questions - such as "is everything alright"! Answer "yes" and hoping they go away.
THIS time however the question started with a "How", an OPEN question!! yusss! Basic communication lesson 101!!!
This required a descriptive answer and we just almost jokingly sad that from garlic was little evidence. Right there and then he offered a apology and a replacement, and having eaten almost half of it already we declined saying something along the line - its ok for now. Surprise surprise, one short minute later he came back from the kitchen along with a tiny wee side dish containing a FRESH cut garlic clove - so we could add this to the rest of the bread that was left on our table- along with a friendly warning that this might be a little strong flavor!!
THUS the waiter was asking not only a "W" question, he a l s o listened and then took appropriate action! YUSSSS!!! Perfect!
For THIS ALONE we forgive the other shortcomings and rate it as nearly perfect!!!
