Now in comes the worst part of the night, the waiter, Vince. Now at this point I said to myself, wait just a damn minute.I had a reservation and THIS is the table I get? Please excuse my vulgarity but the Reunion Tower gets a big FUCK YOU for that one. Even had I been placed at a window table the view wasn't that great because there were so many lights inside that it caused major glare so I saw some of the city with myself looking back at me for most of the night.
Not only was it small but I kid you not, it wasn't even near a near a window.in a rotating tower made for the view, the table was not next to the, not near a freaking window people! First of all, what the hell? Why would there be tables not next to a window in that place? I was actually kind of furious at this point because the mini table was facing a WALL, but don't worry folks, it was a glass wall so I did get a great view of the people eating in front of me! When I wanted to see the view I had to look beside me and right over the next table, (that one was right up against the window) and the poor people just had to deal with me looking right over their over priced dinner. We were led to our "table" I use the term loosely because it was the size of a chess board. Again, this surprised me because I didn't expect a bar scene up there. There is an actual bar area and people were standing there drinking and watching baseball on some big tv's. Well that sucks for being romantic when people are very close to you and it's very loud because there are so many people. I think the reason was simple, more people, more money, so let's cram as many people as we can get in at one time to make the most money off of them. The place was packed, not just with people, but tables and the entire area was very cramped and small, this also surprised me, I'm not sure why I expected more room but in my mind I did. OR go to a sports bar where they love jeans and eat wings, I wanted a fancy classy romantic dinner and jeans have no place in that kind of setting. Well, there were a ton of jeans up there and quite honestly, that pissed me off. It was at this point when I spotted my first, (but not my last) person wearing jeans, which was a strict rule in their dress code, NO JEANS ALLOWED. Excuse me for being a romantic but nothing says NO romance like a sports bar. It sounded like a sports bar or the inside of a restaurant kitchen, this surprised me because I was expecting a romantic quiet enchanting evening, not a club scene. Once you arrive at the top of the tower and get off the elevator I was surprised that my first reaction was to how loud the place was. Unfortunately this is where the good things ended for the evening.
This part was actually cool and I was able to say, why yes, yes I do have reservations! He just got done stopping a family from trying to go up to the top so right away I was pleased. At the door, and by door I mean the bottom of the tower, we were stopped by a guard asking if we did in fact have reservations because if not, we could not start our ascent. I had reservations, as you know a classy restaurant takes reservations and it's part of the fun and experience. I may be getting ahead of myself, let me start from the beginning. Shouldn't the food be wonderful for the price of it? You would think so but not here. As you might expect, a restaurant that rotates so you get a 360 degree view of a beautiful city would have a very high class expensive menu, and Reunion Tower is no exception.
