Luzia's Restaurant   

Several of us went here on December 30, and it really couldn't have been any worse. Had a 7 pm reservation, but the table wasn't ready until 7:15. Ok, that's excusable. Then we ordered a pitcher of Sangria, listed on the wine list as their "specialty." We had to send it back twice because it tasted watery and lacked flavor. What we ended up with on the third try still wasn't very good Sangria, but it didn't seem worth sending back again. Several parties who sat down well after us were served their meals long before we were. The entrees took an hour to arrive, and when they did they brought out two of them about 5-7 minutes before the others were ready. The entrees were bland, all of them needed salt, and all of them were served with the same limp cooked green beans and carrots. Mine had a single piece of broccoli mixed in. Their menu says all food is prepared fresh. If that's the case, why a single piece of broccoli? They also forgot the mashed potatoes that were supposed to come with one entree, and brought that out 10 minutes later. Those were good, at least. Two of our party bought the same dish, and they brought out a single combined serving for both of them. However, both people felt this was less food than they would have received if the meals were prepared separately. They did bill us for two separate dishes, though. Didn't stay to try the dessert. We left at 9:15, swearing to immediately write a review to warn everyone about our terrible experience. However, the best was yet to come.... The Mayo Clinic (and many other medical websites) lists the symptoms of food poisoning as "abdominal cramps, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and fever" (http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/food-poisoning/NU00637). Other sites add general achiness to the list. Starting around 1 am, I developed all of these. I was violently ill for most of the night and most of Sunday. Can't say whether this was in fact food poisoning, but after 24 hou

Every dish was great. A perfect rendezvous w/someone special...you're appetite will be robust for anything afterwards...I really enjoyed my dessert w/a taste of my wife's lips...
