Awful Service at Tapeo
I have to warn everyone not to plan a big event at this restaurant.
This summer I had my after-wedding dinner there and the person responsible for organizing at Tapeo, Tova, was worse than useless. She was rude and utterly incompetent: we had given her months of advance notice, but she was still screwing things up. She told us with one week's notice that our menu -- which we had agreed on months earlier -- was not possible unless we increased the per-plate cost by a ridiculous amount. She could have done her homework earlier, but instead we had to be given this bad news a week before our wedding when we were as busy as air traffic controllers.
Where have you always had a bad meal?
What an excellent topic. It's like gossip for food freaks.
Central Square:
-Tavern at the Square
-Mass Avenue Cafe (too costly for what it is)
-Every single Indian restaurant in Central Square (I haven't tried the dosa place in the back of Shalimar though)
-Carberry's (I know it isn't a restaurant, but I hate this place)
-Mary Chungs (Why do people from MIT like it so much?)
-Pu Pu Hot Pot (This is a horrible horrible oily pit of a restaurant)
-Moody's Falafel Palace (But I keep going back because it is cheap and I used to like it)
-The Middle East (mediocre food)
-Cinderella's
-The Royal East
Harvard Square:
-Wagamama (awful!)
-Fire and Ice (went once and that was enough)
-The old Greenhouse Cafe (mercifully closed)
-Finale (overpriced and overrated)
-Qdoba, Chipotle, and Boloco
-Flat Patties
Other Cambridge:
-Anna's (Is it possible to find quality Mexican food in Boston?)
- Most of the restaurants in the Porter Exchange, especially the Ramen ones
Boston:
-Mentai (Japanese noodle place, totally awful)
-Vinny Testa's
- Fugakyu (Epcot Center decor, hugely overpriced foods)
- Upper Crust in Beacon Hill (Uncomfortable, dirty, and as loud as a rock concert -- this place was good in its first year, but seems to have gone far downhill.)
And saving the worst for last:
The Chau Chow Chinese Dim Sum & Seafood restaurant in Dorchester served me the worst meal I have had in my 9 years in Boston.
