Re: “Halvorson's”

Indifferent service
Halvorson's is in our rotation of downtown restaurants and is usually more than satisfactory. Last Monday, on a slow restaurant night, we dined with our adult children and my son's fiance. Our server was slow in getting to our table, missing in action for drink refills while our meal took about 30 minutes to arrive and did not bother to check back on our food. Had she done so, I could have better explained to her that the pasta toss that my daughter and I had, which I have had several times before, was not properly prepared. Instead of the "sun dried tomato pesto" sauce that the menu described, it was covered with some sort of cheesy cream sauce. I understand that mistakes happen and this didn't ruin our life, or even our evening. But there was no apology given for a meal we did not want to eat and no visit to our table or even a visible presence from management. The final straw for us was when the check arrived. Our meals had indeed been removed from the bill, but we had been charged a la carte pricing for the salad my daughter had and my bowl of soup, both of which came with the meal. It was more of a symbolic thing, I suppose, but with all of the dining choices available to us downtown, I think we will skip this place for a while. Food: 2 Ambiance: 4 Service: 2
