I stopped in here for a drink one night at the bar. I was in the mood for a nice meal and a good glass of wine. I didn't realize what I was getting myself into. The cheapest wine on the menu was a $10 white wine. The cheapest red was $14. I may have talked myself into splurging, but by the time I was actually waited on (~15 min after sitting down at the bar) I had convinced myself otherwise. Instead I had a $7 Coronado Mermaid Red beer that was not very cold. It was completely warm by the time I finished 1/2 of it.
I was going to order food but the couple next to me had been waiting more than just the fifteen minutes I had been just to get their check taken care of. I thought perhaps this was because the bartender was new or they were understaffed, but by her conversations with some of the regular customers it did not seem that way.
I was never asked if I wanted food. After thirty minutes, I put my card out because I was over it. I didn't end up finishing my usually delicious Coronado beer.
The lady I sat next to told me to try the one up North because the service is better. I might try that for happy hour if I'm ever in the area.
