We tried Sabur on recommendation of City Search and were rather disappointed. I am not sure if it was because it was a weeknight and the place was understaffed or if it was a general lack of enthusiasm and effort on the part of the staff that is always present. After standing by the door for several minutes, on a quiet night, a waitress across the room told us to sit wherever. Ten minutes later we received menus, another ten minutes drinks were ordered and ten minutes later they arrived. My pomegranate margarita was great, my boyfriend's martini was practically warmed...obvious it had been made and waited on the bar until served. The appetizers were mediocre: chickpea cakes good, potato & celery root cakes very greasey. After waiting a long time for our meals (20+ minutes) one arrived as ordered (slow cooked lamb, excellent) and the other was not what was requested. By the time the correct item was brought my partner was done eating and what I was served was cold in the middle. I sent it back and asked for the bill immediately. The entire time the staff was less than apologetic about everything, actually had an attitude, never filled our waters or served bread. On the way out the door the owner extended his regrets and offered a free meal on him in the future...finally somone who cared. I doubt we will ever take him up on the offer.
Cons: Rude Staff, Cold food, Warm Martinis
