Our lunch party of 10 visited for a business lunch and unfortunately we were all quite disappointed not only with our meals but the overall restaurant's experience. First issue, even though the restaurant was practically empty, our business luncheon took a very long time to be prepared and served,(over 30 minutes!). While other tables around us were offered different varieties of freshly baked multi grain breads and rolls , our larger table , on the other hand, was only given a few tiny ,(and rock hard), crustini croutons with a tad of hummus, one of which almost damaged my colleague's dental work. The overall quality of the meals were also lacking given the highly priced selections offered. We also felt the menu lacked a reasonable amount of more appropriate lunch type portion selections.Actually there was NO LUNCH MENU. Finally either a waiter or "manager" was yelling loudly at one of the cooks about an order. Highly unprofessional conduct given it happened on the restaurant floor, and not to mention, right next to our table. It was extremely embarrassing to all of us. I have been to Pistachio's many times in the past and have never had this sort of unexcusablly poor experience for any meal before in the past. So you can imagine my complete and utter disappointment and embarrassment as I had actually highly recommended this restaurant to all my business associates. My huge mistake.
Pros: Large menu selections
Cons: Service, long wait for meals, overpriced and ala carte everything
