| - I'm 100% sure I won't return and it's not because of the location or the wine/food.
Some friends and I decided to do a wine tasting and they provided some cheese, crackers, cookies and chocolates. No fruits or meats and the cookies came out of a box. Pricing was $25 + tax & tip and seemed like a good deal for 10 tastings.
Our server was probably one of the rudest people I've ever met in the service industry and if her tip wasn't included, she would have received NOTHING from me. While we were waiting for the rest of our party, she asked if we needed anything. I went to order a glass of wine and she said "I'm not getting anyone anything until the entire party arrives". And you asked because????
Needless to say, I asked about how much wine would be served with the tasting because I was the designated driver. She stated approximately 2 and a half glasses of wine total. For my size and where I live, that's a guaranteed over the blood alcohol limit for me. I asked if it was $25 per person whether we drink or not - and she said "you've already been eating, so you will be charged".
I tasted maybe 3 of the wines and fell in love with the Pinot Grigio. When she brought out my check, not only were we charged the automatic gratutity (and if I had her nasty little attitude, I would have charged the 18% as well) but the gratuity was also charged on the bottle of wine that I was taking home with me. Of course, I just gave it back and paid for the tasting.
The tasting went more than 2.5 hours, and service was not even sub-par. It took her 1/2 an hour to ring up our checks. She was blunt and non-friendly. I won't be back.
