Fava Restaurant

overcrowded, mediocre food

by taster2007 at Citysearch

The tables were so close together that everytime the waiter wanted to reach the table behind us, we had to squeeze in. The service was remarkably slow (we waited over 45 min for the entrees) - for which they eventually apologized. The food was spotty -- the bread came to the table chilled. The entrees - while not inexpensive - were of mediocre quality at best. We certainly won't return.

• Pros: local to suburbs in you live nearby
• Cons: not good value (expensive for what it is), slow, overcrowded

Awful meal, freezing cold inside, but they opened anyway, don't trust them

The restaurant's heating system wasn't working. It was freezing, literally, inside. Still they opened and told customers it would warm up soon. They left the blowers on even though that made it worse because they were blowing cold air in. Extraordinarily uncomfortable. No concern for the guests comfort, just wanted to squeeze a few more dollars out tonight. No class, should have been closed until a proper atmosphere could be attained. Don't trust them.

• Cons: Freeezing cold inside - why were they open?

Everyone Makes Mistakes

even Fava...my wife and I went here on a recommendation...great ambiance, great menu and wine list. My dinner was a bit salty but decided not to say anything however that didn't stop my wife from letting the waitress politely know about it. Not only did they comp the dinner but sent us a complimentary dessert. We've gone back several times since and have never again been dissappointed. These guys know what they're doing...keep customer's happy...customer's come back!
