  On the last night of a fabulous Mother’s Day getaway to Nantucket, my daughter arranged for us to dine at Oran Mor. It is a Bistro with supposedly fine dining. But the wait staff were the worst I’ve ever encountered in a so-called top tier restaurant.
  
  The server was dour. The host/server’s assistant was supercilious. Neither appeared competent enough to distinguish field greens from romaine lettuce.
  
  Both my daughter and I ordered a Caesar salad. We were served a bowl of field greens with Caesar garnishes of croutons and cheese shavings. I was relieved that the salad came with vinaigrette instead of Caesar dressing. But what a miss! As the server put the salad before me, I asked him what was in the bowl? He said he was serving the kale salad. When I asked if this wasn’t supposed to be a Caesar salad, he answered that yes it was a Caesar. There was not one crunchy piece of romaine in the dish.
  
  I started to send the dish back and flee the restaurant. But this was our last night on the island and my daughter had taken time to select the restaurants for our visit. I didn’t want to spoil the last night over a bowl of greens.
  
  But I wish we had left. My main course of chicken Ballotine arrived nestled in peas puree instead of the potato crème-fraiche puree listed on the menu. There were also baby yellow and red carrots, and pearl onions on the plate. A bland white sauce was dribbled over everything. But the advertised parsnips, shitake bacon and sausage that could have made the dish savory were not included. The chestnuts that could have added needed texture also were missing. The dish was also supposed to be served with cranberry compote, which the meal dearly needed to add complexity and depth. But no compote was delivered with the meal. I was out of the door before I remembered why the dish was such a disappointment. Like the salad order, the wait staff didn’t appear to realize what was missing either--- or just didn’t care.
  
  It was an expensive dining experience, but not a rich one. In this case, Mor was less.

  Just here 2 days ago. Shared one app with my wife and we agreed it was just ok. My wife liked her dish. My Herb Roasted Chicken Ballotine was cold and uncooked. It was more than pink and close to the red side in the center. It goes without saying I did not eat... :-(
