Unbelievably horrible service

The food was quite tasty. However, unfortunately, we received the most atrocious service I've ever had at a restaurant. Our server actually downsized our table, with no explanation or apology, in the middle of our meal!!! She crammed the 3 of us adults and a big silver platter onto one small table. She moved the other small table we'd been using to another table. She placed a "reserved" sign on that larger table, so we thought there must be some huge party coming that they forgot about. A few minutes later two adults and a baby were seated at this larger table. It was surreal. Sadly, that was our first and last experience at Etete.

Quirky

Although we had a reservation for four, there were no tables open and we were seated at the mesob table and then asked if we preferred to be outside. The comfort of the stools at the mesob table was questionable so we chose outside and were led to the deck on the second floor at the back of the restaurant. It was a pleasant night but the smell of the garbage bins around the deck was unpleasant. There was little help with ordering because of the language barrier. The food was room temperature, the injera cold, and the vegetable dishes were meager. Interestingly, the two beef dishes were generous and the ribs especially good. We do not expect to return.

Disappointing

I was excited to try Etete because I had read some good reviews. Unfortunately, the service is clueless, the portions were small, and all the food stone cold. I will not be beating a path back.
