My boyfriend & I were looking for a relaxing but nice place to celebrate my birthday together. We both grew up in the area and decided on The Little Tuna just to try it out. We were greeted promptly and seated in a cozy corner area. The atmosphere was comfortable and we assumed we made a great choice in dining! We had small problems early on, like not receiving an ice bucket for our beverages that accompanied us and bread was not served to us right away. Very minor. Our appetizer of chicken pot stickers was amazing, on the plus side. However, here comes the cringe part......my boyfriend had a grub (worm/caterpillar) in his broccoli! He politely & quietly got the attention of the waiter who then took the grub and the broccoli off his plate without an apology. The only explanation we received from the waiter was that the veggies were organic so bugs were common. I cringed a little bit knowing that. But then the bill came and both my boyfriend and I assumed that we would be compensated on finding the grub in his entree. To our surprise nothing was taken off. Still no apology. No appearance from a manager, owner, chef, nothing!!! My boyfriend questioned why the meal wasn't removed from our bill and our waiter responded with "" I didn't think you had a problem with it."" We were dumbfounded and annoyed with the stupidity of the restaurant. The waiter came back after ""adjusting"" our bill telling us he was given permission to remove our $7 appetizer but not the entree where the bug was found. We will NEVER again visit The Little Tuna and will tell everyone we know about the lousy experience we had. It was almost an insult to our good judgement to eat there! If you are brave enough to go to The Little Tuna, go with a stomach of steel and check your veggies and salad for any unexpected visitors!
Pros: relaxing atmosphere & decent food
Cons: service
