Don't go for lunch!

I have been to Globe many times over the years and always thought it was very good, so when a client asked me to take them there for lunch, I happily made reservations. What a mistake.

We sat down at 12:15 and quickly gave our order to our waiter. It took a long time to get water and bread, but we were chatting and didn't really notice. At 12:50, 40 minutes after we sat down we still had not gotten any food! I spoke to our waiter and told him to skip the appetizers, that we now really only had time for the main courses as we had to get back at our office in 35 min for meetings etc.

Five minutes later he brought us our appetizers and told us that we didn't have to pay for them, they were his treat. Ten minutes later (we had now been in the restaurant for 55 minutes) I stood up to again speak to our waiter (who was avoiding us). Instead I spoke to the bartender who told me that they guys in the kitchen were "going as fast as they could". He then sent our waiter over to the table who told us that it was going to be another 10 min for our food. I told him that we would not have time enough to eat and that he would have to box our food to go. At that point our waiter told us to "just forget it you can leave and I won't charge you". For what? At that point we had only had two iced teas and the complementary salads.

I told him that we had been waiting an hour and five minutes for our food and that we did not have time to go somewhere else and start again. I again asked him to box up the food when it was ready. At 1:25 one person left to get to her meeting. At 1:30, an hour and fifteen minutes,after placing our order our waiter brought the boxed meals - and this is hard to belive - a check.

And, when I ate the lukewarm meal at my desk later it was extremely salty. You have been warned.

What happened to this place?

I took a client to lunch without a reservation and the host gave us the most appalled look and told us to come back in 45 minutes. I think it was the bartender or a waiter who offered to squeeze us in which was extremely nice, but I'm not sure it was worth it. I believe my companion left hungry and I would have offered him some of my food-but I ate all of the tiny portion. We had to flag someone down to refill our water and I couldn't help but feel that since we had not ordered cocktails or appetizers, we were a low priority.

Terrible service ruined a good night

I joined just to write about an absolutely terrible experience here....

The restaurant was half empty but it still took an hour for the food to show up. I mentioned to our waiter that dinner hadn't gone so well. His excuse was that someone had tried to run out on the bill and that he had to chase him down. While that's terrible, I'm just not sure how that adds 40 minutes of prep time to my dinner...

1 star for decent food and only 1 star for terrible customer service.

Globe, thank you for ruining my evening. I will be steering clear of you and Mr. Manzare's other creations from now on.

Simply Amazing

After viewing a few blogs at first on citysearch, after a strong recommendation from a dear friend of mine who works in the restaurant industry, I was afraid to try Globe. Wow I am so glad I had gone with my friend?s recommendation. My husband and I tried Globe on Saturday evening. Where do I start, we came in with open hearts and empty belly?s. We are both very picky about our food. After being seated my husband and I noticed all the yummy food and dishes around the room. We couldn?t help but notice the globe signature dish the ?Steak for two.? The entree came as a meal for two people which included a side potato dish and caramelized onions along with tons of perfectly cook steak! As we both also noticed the house made Mac and Cheese we also added this side on to our meal. Can you say WOW?!?! The meal was unbelievable. Not only was the food outstanding but the wine list was incredible! Our service was outstanding and honestly the dinner was completely flawless! I HIGHLY recommend Globe to anyone interested in a evening of wining and dinning with a significant love one or maybe even for a power business dinner.

Service and food were great!

Today I got my Groupon on ($20 for $40 worth of food) at Globe. Everything from the food to the service was great. They start out serving a plate with two different breads and butter. The really salty focaccia bread was my favorite. For an appetizer, I ordered the smoked salmon and crÃ¨me fraiche. It was served with slices of bread and I literally ate the whole plate full. My friend ordered the soup-of-the-day, which was pureed butternut squash, which was really flavorful. For an entrÃ©e I got the halibut, which was so soft it cut like butter. It was served with fingerling potatoes. My friend ordered the skirt steak. She and I literally ate EVERYTHING off of our plates. I will definitely have to go back here again!
