I heard the food is great, but some people don't like going there.  What's the deal?

Poor service last couple of times I've been there.  Not worth the price IMO.

My wife and I have had nothing but great experiences at Dalesandro's. Great service and food. The portions for the entrees are big enough that we normally split them which helps make the cost more reasonable (or better put in our case, means we can drink  more..lol)

If you have had bed service then ask to be seated in Eric's area. He will take great care of you or just sit at the bar like we do and let Saul serve you.

If I have to ask to be seated in someones area than the place has problems....I hope someone will direct them to this forum....

Terrific food... swordfish (available only on Fridays or Saturdays) is tremendous, cacciatore delicious too. Food's always hot and tastes like it just came out of the oven.

We've always had friendly but very slooooow service. They're just a relaxed kind of place, move at their own speed. And only have two available seatings - so I imagine our ticket always hits the kitchen when everyone else's does. Hard to cook for an entire restaurant at one time.

Volume level inside can be a bit loud. We decided that next time, we'll angle for a table on the patio.

There are number of restaraunts in town that we ask to be seated in a particular servers area... we know them and they know us which makes for a more enjoyable experience. I was just trying to offer up one solution if you've had a bad experience with Dalesandro's.

One reason my wife and I eat at the bar is it to alleviate some of the issues from the 2 seating thing (which are at 6 and 8 by the way). We don't go there if we are in a hurry but could not agree more on the swordfish picatta on Friday adn Saturday. that is one entree we normally do not split.. i want the whole thing.

You can't go there in a hurry.  The service is always pretty good, though some servers are better than others -- that's true anywhere.  We go about once a week.  The food is always good.  

Some nights it's faster than others, but it really depends on how busy they are.  Some people complain about the price, but they are usually cheap anyway.  It's pretty fair, in my book, for the silly amount of food you get.

I didn't have bed service there, just poor table service.

I've eaten there (seated at a table) many times.  The past couple of times have not been pleasant experiences.  I might give the place another try someday, but for the prices they charge, I expect better treatment.  Thanks for the advice about asking for Eric.  I tip very well if I've had a good dining experience.

Pardon the aside but, anyone out there remember Andy Warhol's Joe Dallesandro?  Remember being from lil ol Tulsa and seeing Joe Dallesandro on the big screen and just aching from all the rush of feeling.  You may be past your prime Joe but I bet you still burn up any sidewalk you transit.  Just a memory from a true fan.  Now back to the topic at hand.

it is DALESANDRO'S...

and if you do a search on the forum you'll find many detailed examples of unbelievable behavior by the owner/operator...

it is a damn shame because the food is very good... i'd never have believed how much of an donkey he could be if i had not witnessed it first hand, on two different occasions...

Bingo! I haven't dropped a dime in there for over two years now.

I go to Dalesandro's to eat . . . not because I give a hoot about what the owner(s) do(es) with his (their) free time.  They are always nice to my wife and me.

And a big +1 on Eric being a great server.  He's also a fantastic bartender.

Uh oh....here come de Buzz bashers......time to send Sonny over to give you both a head butt.

When I read over and over posts where these two were not going there again, I started going twice as often so I would not get sucker punched or conned.[}:)]
