| - There are plenty of dining options at Westgate. On busy nights, they all have waits. On nights when I've been in attendance, Margaritaville has had consistently shorter wait times so I have given it several tries. And for the life of me, I cannot figure the place out.
If you're a conspiracy theorist, you probably actually believe that restaurants inflate their wait times just to make the place seem more popular. This rumor has floated throughout the dining community for years, but I'm not sure why else I'd be quoted a 45 minute wait only to be "paged" five minutes later. Miscommunication by the staff? Sure, that's possible. The first time. This has happened on three separate occasions, always given 30+ minute wait times, always paged within five minutes. This seems bizarrely counterproductive.
I dined here most recently on a weeknight following an event at the Arena. I was given a 30 minute wait time even though many seats were open, this must have been due to a shortage of staff that night. I chose to sit at the bar area, which was fairly wide open. I then ordered an adult beverage.
Here is where the red alert horn sounds, lights flash, sirens blare, and people start running for cover.
There is some kind of monkeyshines going on behind the bar at this establishment. I don't know what kind of monkeyshines, but certainly some monkeyshines are afoot! Order an adult beverage here, I dare you. When you're done, order another. Notice something?
That's right, of course you do. They taste nothing alike! The first one was terrific, the second one nooooottttt so much. Now order a third one, just to pad your bill and please your waiter. Ahhhh, there's that flavor you enjoy. Life is good! Jimmy Buffet is taking you aboard his private yacht. The sand between your toes feels fine. Now order a fourth one since you're taking a taxi home. What the devil?! Is this gasoline?!! Seriously! I could power my vehicle with this! Get Jimmy Buffet the heck off his yacht and on the phone with me right this instant!
I cannot figure it out. The drinks here are great, and then awful. There is no middle ground. Nothing from the bar is "blah." It either takes you away with its flavor or it makes you wince in pain. This is unusual, even by bar standards. Obviously, no two drinks are ever alike and even the best bars do have some variation. But they, at least, know that you need to make the stuff using the same recipe each time! I've had the same drink come to me in such bizarrely different variety that I'm tempted to think the bartender just made up his own stuff at some point.
So consider this your warning. Yeah, the food is okay. Nothing to write home about. Burgers are burgers, nachos are tasty (although your intestinal tract will make you pay dearly later), salads are salads. It's all standard stuff. Just watch out for those drinks. If you think I'm right, let me know. Because I'm going nuts thinking I'm being pranked.
