PIANO PIANO, תל אביב

Any other restaurant at the port would have been preferable. Skipping lunch altogether would have been preferable. There is no access for wheelchair-bound people, and no handicapped... toilets. First they seated us at the western end of the restaurant, next to an air conditioner, but with the sun pouring in the windows with no shades, sitting there was intolerable. We were then moved to a different table on the other side, but that had no air conditioner. The whole restaurant was pretty warm as they never closed the door. The waiter brought me a completely wrong order. The French fries were well done on the outside, but soggy on the inside. The lasagna, when it finally arrived, had far too much cheese compared to the amount of pasta in it. I asked for oregano, but it never arrived. The water arrived lukewarm, and when I asked for ice water the waiter brought us a small plastic cup full of ice. We had to ask again and again for everything, such as more ice, more water, more napkins, the bill, and to place an order. No request was honoured the first time. The staff were nice people, but incompetent waiters. The screaming babies (not the restaurant's fault), the shirtless customers, kids sitting on tables and the booming bass music (both the restaurants fault) made for a noise level that made conversation impossible. Even the kids complained. The mediocre food and the poor service made the entire meal unpleasant.
