My thought as well. A room of 100 guests all wanting two to three changes done by hand means more bodies on the floor
I also wonder if Skenes just has simpler dining expectations. Like the joke about cooks eating most of their meals out of delis hunched in a corner.
They donāt see it as extra work but a part of eating

That it was another alt of yours did cross my mind.
I hear you on this and am super excited to go to Leopardo. But this is technique more than simple ingredient quality.

I also donāt like farm-raised fish. I donāt understand why restaurants brag about such and such farms fish. Itās always bland.
We are the only two posters who have said anything positive about Yess.
Ingredient girl, at your service

I like yess. Itās not fully formed and weird at times but he does get good stuff. I prefer the cleanliness compared to a bunch of crap at other restaurants with more distractions from the actual products.

When I tried this with my server at Motherwolf, he threw a fit. I asked him to get me another server, who promptly had similar āindignationā. I had to course it out myself by only ordering one dish at a time.

Reading that you have to handle your own silverware and plates actually is a dealbreaker for me, so you are not alone. Iām fine w/ silverware can at a Japanese cafe, but I still have never had to grab my own plate, even in that setting.
Sorry, that kind of āserviceā seems like BS to me.

When we went, the plates and silverware were at the table and you can grab them when you need them. They did proactively refresh our plates part way through the meal too. The experience of dining out is, of course, highly subjective as evidenced by the discussion here and may not be to your taste at this price point.

Just to clarify ā we had a stack of four plates on the table, and we each grabbed one. Maybe thatās a dealbreaker for you. I didnāt find it so terrible. I just mentioned it to signal how casual the service is.

I think you can still have great service and hospitality even if some plates are stacked on your table.

Yeah. Has anyone actually had bad service here because of the cutlery and plates at the table?
(Other than dishes coming as they were made)
Iām going to go Tuesday at open (5:30) if 1-2 ppl wanna join.

Went last night and had a great time. I laughed with our waitress about the ābringing everything out at onceā situation and she ended up telling the kitchen to go slow on the pizzas so the experience actually ended up feeling coursed out. Food was great, although youāre not getting much for the price. But thatās just dining in LA in 2024. Pizzas were definitely the highlight, especially the re-marinara.

What does āre-marinaraā mean? Am I missing a pun?
