My initial impressions of Aces and Ales II on Tenaya were less than favorable. I sat at the bar and was ignored by the bar tender who walked by me twice before standing around talking to another customer who already had his drink. Then I noticed the sign on the poker machine saying the seat was reserved for players only. I was not in the poker playing mood. I have never seen that anywhere else. I thought that was kind of rude. All I wanted to do was order a pizza to go and get a beer while I waited. I ended up sitting in along the wall and eating there. Service, when service was recieved, was great. My server was very friendly and helped me to decide on a beer since I was lost in the number of options they have available. I settled on a seasonal pumpkin porter. Holy cow was it ever spiced. It had a kick to it, no doubt about that. It was good though. When my pizza came out, the Eddie Spaghetti pizza by the way, my server told me I had to finish it all. Challenge accepted! This was some wicked pizza. Thick and fluffy crust with a bit of a chew and a crunch on the edges. It is a special kind of pizza topped with spaghetti and meat sauce, pepperoni, spicy Italian sausage and mozarella cheese. I loved it and wanted to keep eating but alas I could go no further. Challenge failed. No worries though. I was able to take it home where I managed another three meals out of it. Each reheating was just as good though the spaghetti dried out a bit. Upon settling my tab I was offered a couple of coupons for a free beer. I will be back soon to try more seasonals.
