Review: Chef's Table, Waynesville, North Carolina

I recently wandered into this restaurant and was literally salivating at the chance to eat there...BIG mistake.

First of all, the service could not be more rude. We were asked three times by everyone we encountered if we had a reservation. No, we didn't. Oops, we realized (after being treated like silly children who should know better) that this was our first error.

Second, as the website claims "Sit and sip wine while watching the chef worlk in the open kitchen," This is a NO-GO. Obviously this chef and staff did not want us to sit at the kitchen bar. We got dirty looks and looks of disdain by trying.

While a server did his best to accomodate us and was friendly, we decided not to stay. We've eaten in numerous wonderful restaurants and many no-so-fab. I can tell you when a meal starts off like this, it doesn't get much better.

Oh yeah, it was a Wednesday and most of the front of the house was empty save for one couple and a large dinner party. There was plenty of room for us, but if the kitchen is thrown by two extra diners, forget it!

Too bad, so sad.
