All we wanted to do was enjoy the terrine. It was special night Tuesday with $1.00 oysters and half price wine. As “L is For… @eyalpastrychef” tweeted the next day “@taylor40906 sorry for the wait : we got slammed.” We waited almost an hour for the Harvest menu. (It ended up being complimentary.] Our server became hostile and closed the payment slip so there was no possibility of a gratuity. Which was fine as he slammed the slip down onto the table.
