We celebrated Christmas Eve at Buona Sera for the first time. Our waitress was incredible - so accommodating and attentive to our needs. The food was extremely delicious except for the one fact that we found a sliver of hard plastic in the Lobster Bisque. We gave it to our waitress to give to the manager/cook so that they were aware of it. I was really taken back that the manager/cook never came out to offer their apologies which I thought would be the appropriate thing to do. Also our check was wrong - it took three (3) times for them to get it right - again not the way we envisioned our Christmas Eve to end! It will be some time before we go back to this restaurant.
