Only Two Stars For Gotham Steak
Paging Alfred Portale! Get to Miami Beach, and fast. Victoria Pesce Elliott completely pans Gotham Steak in today's Miami Herald. She has few good things to say about the food, but the service is what's really nightmarish:
Large tables of drunken, nametagged guys monopolized the attention of the clueless waiters on one visit. And on both, most of the staff's English was sub-par. Still, it was an arrogant young sommelier who made our last meal there surreal. We flagged him down for help negotiating the 500-bottle list with an eye to finding a good value under 50 bucks. Instead he sneered, stepped back as if we suddenly stank and spat, ''You're on a buh-jet?'' In the end, he steered us to a Sicilian Nero'dAvola $10 above our limit.That's not a good attitude to take in a town with a steakhouse on practically every corner. Oh, right, and there's that whole recession thing too.
