Message: | Perhaps it's gotten better but I didn't care for it at all when I went there last year before a dull performance of La Boheme. I'm not much of a fan of the Music Center to begin with (I loathe the architecture, don't think much of the sight lines or acoustics and go out of a sense of duty to "culture") so maybe I wasn't in a very good mood and take this for what it's worth. Also I was set off by having one of those waitresses who treats you as if you've never eaten Italian food before. I don't know who she was used to serving but this is the big city. In our party all four people had been many times to different regions and knew far more about it than the waitress. Maybe she was used to serving the West Covina Music Center crowd who wouldn't know a tiramisu from a tear duct but still...
As for the food, I don't remember it at all, which says a lot because I have a pretty good memory for what I eat (not for much else unfortunately). What I do remember is those interminable Music Center elevators, worse even than Cedars Sinai, that make you think you're certain to miss the curtain. Anyway, if the magement has changed since last season, disregard all this... although I bet the elevators still stink. |
