Disappointing experience. We had a reservation for 7:00pm but were asked to wait for 30 minutes as a table was not available on the outside deck. They explained that they do not take reservations for outside tables...which I was ok with and agreed to wait at the bar.
About an hour later I again inquired about my table and the hostess graciously apologized and said we were next on the wait list. A few minutes after that a waitress came to us with a selection of four sample size (not appetizer size) hors d'oeuvre and said she heard we had been waiting for an extended amount of time and hence would we like to try some hors d'oeuvers. I took this as a nice gesture which is not uncommon for a decent restaurant and tried 2 of the 4 samples (2 shrimp and 2 small duck spring rolls). No mention of price or the like was made.
Soon after our table was ready and we were asked to settle our drinks bill at the bar itself. To my surprise there was a $16 charge for the hors d'oeuvers. When I questioned it I was assured that a manager would come to our table and settle the matter.
We finished our meal but a manger never came. I asked our server if I could speak to the manager (our server was very nice) and explained to him what happened but he would come back and inform us that the manager says there is nothing he can do, at best offer us free desert. The least the manager could have done was give us the respect to talk to us directly.
In the end we just paid and rather than continuing to drink there chose to go elsewhere.
