and yet another restaurant in Oakland

A restaurant experience to top it all. Had a late lunch at La Furia Chalaca, a Peruvian Seafood restaurant in Oakland on Saturday. The salsa music playing, albeit somewhat loudly, in the background did not match the somewhat oppressive feel of the dining room. It did not help that the server was moving sluggishly and was somewhat unfriendly. Her immediate response to any request was "Yeah, sure, okay."

For starters I had the mashed potato fritter stuffed with ground beef and Emmanuel had grilled slices of beef heart with grilled potatoes. They were both good but the beef heart needed red wine to savor it best.
E: What kind of red wine are you pouring by the glass?
Server: (smiling) The bottle doesn't have a label but it's from Napa.
At $7 a glass, I want to know what wine that is. For all I know it could be two-buck chuck swill.

While we were eating our appetizers, we could hear our server on the phone arguing with a customer. It seemed that she might have overcharged them.
Server: Yeah, I charged your credit card $xxx.xx
(Pause)
Server: Yeah, this is what you ordered. Blah, blah, blah.
(Pause)
This goes on for sometime. (Meanwhile, we were done with our apps and our main dishes were probably ready in the kitchen.) And then we hear her yell at the customer.
Server: YOU ORDERED TWO COFFEES AND (something unintelligible). YOU WERE CHARGED FOR IT.
(Pause)
Server: Yes, call back on Monday and talk to the owner (and hangs up the phone).

She finally reappeared with our main course but instead of clearing the appetizer plates she started shoving them to make room for our main courses. It didn't seem like she was going to clear until we asked her to.

Emmanuel ordered arroz con pollo, golden fried chicken served with cilantro-rice with fresh peas. The chicken was not golden but green, the rice was gummy and the peas were so shriveled there was nothing fresh about them. In fact, the entire dish was green. I had beef saltado, tender slices of beef sauteed with onions, tomatoes, bell peppers served over golden potato slices and a side of steamed rice. The beef was nowhere near the spectrum of tender and those potato slices were nothing but french fries. Strange combination but after the first bite it worked. Too bad the meat was tough.

E: (fake smile) Check please.
Server: Yeah, sure, okay.
She drops our check and we motion that we're done with our plates. (The tip-counter was ticking and it was not in her favor.)
Server: Yeah, sure, okay.
We double-checked the receipt to avoid a phone call, paid and then promptly left.
