| - Damn Africa, what happened? (High fives to all that know this reference ps)
But really though, Vin Room. What did happen? You used to have great service, delicious food and a wonderful vibe. Now, since my last visit I will never return.
Shall I elaborate? OK, since you asked....
Two of my friends and I came here around 8pm on a Friday looking for a few glasses of wine, some tasty nibbles and a good girls night. Both of them never been here before but love wine and so after me convincing them that this place was "sooo good", we decided to go. MISTAKE.
When we arrived there was maybe 3 or 4 other tables of two but it wasn't super busy by any means so we got sat right away. Our server that came over was an older gentleman (At least that is what I will call him since my mama raised me right) however buddy was no gentleman. From the moment he came over to our table AGE DISCRIMINATION set in.
He was very condescending from the start, he would scoff/rolled his eyes and sigh loudly when we didn't know what type of wine to order and when we asked for suggestions. Once we got that out of the way and he brought our wine over, we said we'd like to order food as well, he nodded and walked away.... Then, we sat for 20 mins for him to come back and take our food order. This service kept up the entire night. At one point, we had to wave another person down and ask if our server was ever going to come back to our table so we could order a second glass of wine each...
What was worse, was this wasn't an issue with just him in general though, because with all the other tables he was serving (which by the way were all older than us) he practically kissed their feet and was constantly chatting with them and bringing them drinks.
We felt unwanted and the whole situation was damn right appalling. We went to the bar without ordering a second glass, paid our bill and left.
And you know what made me the most upset? That I put my lovely ladies into this environment, thinking that we would have a really nice evening - like I have in the past.
Not cool, and never again
