Lounge popolari a Downtown

It was great that the manager on Valentine's Day came to our table and wanted feedback on their stuffed chicken breast with broccolini and smashed potatoes. It was a new dish they're trying. When they asked how my meal was, I said that unfortunately it was over seasoned with salt. Showed the steak was peppered with salt. It was like an extra sprinkle of course salt was added over the cut steak. The roasted small potatoes were also overseasoned with salt. It seemed once everything was plated, they sprinkled course salt over the food. I told the manager that I was going to eat it because I was hungry. But no effort was made to compensate for the very salty meal. I was not impressed. Next time we go l, I'll avoid order their petite steak.

Update: I am so impressed by the chef & managers response to my review and the way they’ve handled the situation. I received a lovely and sincere phone call apologizing and offering a re-do of our dinner and experience. I did not expect such a gesture and regardless of our recent experience, we always love the Wednesday room and this shows us exactly why. We can’t wait to come back. Thank you Derek & Danielle. We are disappointed with our recent visit to The Wednesday Room. We have a tradition to spend every valentines there as a special treat, as it’s hard to get out as parents of two young kids. I made our reservation 2 weeks in advance, and when we arrived we were seated at the worst table at the bottom of the stairs. We had an early reservation for 6, and saw other tables empty while we sat at our table. The chairs they had us in were meant for a living room and so uncomfortable and annoying to try and eat the table with, and it was absolutely FREEZING. They had a space heater that hardly worked and couldn’t be felt. Our food arrived and immediately went cold before we could finish or enjoy it. We asked to be moved and our request was disregarded. For a $200+ bill I could have had a way better experience somewhere instead of needing to sit uncomfortably in my winter jacket on the one night my husband and I get to go out. That table shouldn’t even be an option to sit in. The server was lovely and could tell we were upset but couldn’t do anything. I’m so disappointed.

We had a very good meal, the place was very busy of course. The only complaint I have is the parking is not good. It’s very limited we ended up parking on the street which wasn’t the best. We weren’t asked if we were celebrating something special by our server. I heard other servers asking their customers if they were celebrating something special and at the end received the billy minor pie for free, so that was disappointing.

Dining by the pool on a cold winter day was magical.
