Don't sit at the bar

I sat at the bar and was completely ignored. Horrible service. Went there on a recommendation. I won't be back. I was never even asked if I would like to place an order. I decided to head next door to PF Changs where the service and food was excellent.

Poor Service

My husband and I have gone to Proto's several times and each time it got steadily worse. First time, waiter shamelessly flirted with me in front of my husband, even to the point of touching me on the back without any invitation. He's lucky he didn't get slugged.
They put anchovies on my salad, even though I asked them not to. When they returned with a "fixed" salad, I found one anchovy in it. I suspect that they just picked them off, forgot one, and sent it back out. Disgusting.
The last straw was when we went there, were asked to sit at the bar until we were given a table. A couple of tables emptied, and then they sat two other couples who had arrived 10 minutes after we had. We tried to flag down the bartender several times, but he just ignored us. We couldn't even get a glass of water! It was terrible. So we left, told the hostess to not bother about getting us a table and she looked so confused by our presence. I think she forgot that we had even come into their restaurant! Then the bartender made a scene by running after us into the street, saying that he'd get us a table! It was so absurd...we will never go back there.
Only pro: they have the best tiramisu I have ever tasted. But I don't know whether it's worth it.
- Pros: Amazingly delicious tiramisu!
- Cons: Rude servers, chintzy on their plate sizes, mediocre pizza

Stop by for a drink
by geoffandguy at Citysearch
We ordered a small pizza and they forgot the Salami. We decided put it on cold when they brought out the forgotten meat it was one slice. They put one slice of meat on a 13 dollar pizza. We'll go somewhere else like the front door.
- Pros: outdoor seating
- Cons: prices
