Love Apple

I am going to make this review as delightful as an unripe crab apple.

A group of friends and I went to the Love Apple to have dinner on our last day in Taos, and we needed separate checks because we were paying for ourselves. Makes sense, right? Well, our server did not see it that way; she let out a great loud sigh to the whole table when we told her our request. Dinner just went down hill from there.

She missed half the table on drink orders, consistently messed up requests, and had the gull to tell us we had to wait 25(!) minutes just so she could tabulate 9 checks! And she took longer than that. She even requested that we pay 20% gratuity for her awful service.

Delicious food, great atmosphere, HORRENDOUS service. The group I ate with visits Taos once a year. If I have my way, it will be the first and last time I take a bite at that bitter apple.

Great food. Great atmosphere. Terrible service.
This is supposed to be fine dining, but the way you get treated at a restaurant should be a huge part of that experience. For the amount you're paying, I'd recommend spending your money elsewhere.

The food was great, and the atmosphere terrific.  Unfortunately we had a server who was able to negate all of that by treating our large party poorly.  We had made reservations for 11 and were seated promptly, this past Saturday night.  However, our server proceeded to take drink orders from only four of us and forget the rest, until we said something.  Then she was about to do the same for the meal order.  Who has to tell a server to take an order.  Her performance was augmented with scowls and delays.  Either something horrible had just happened to this person, or she hates her job, or she hated our party.  Whatever it was, she should not have been working that night.  She is lucky though--we decided to pay the pre-added tip, because she had kept us so long that we could not wait around to complain and lower the amount to the 10% she deserved.  I suppose sloth can occasionally pay off.
