First time a guest and I went to PPMC, we ordered from the counter and sat at the bar. We were immediately scolded for ordering at the counter and taking a seat at the bar. Apparently, one must be seated at the bar to order if you are to be seated there.
So I went back solo today....sat at the bar. I chose one of only a few seats available. There were some used plates and glasses on the bar at my place that the previous patron had just left. I asked the bartender if it was OK that I sat there. He assured me that he would clear the plates/glasses and get me started. 10 minutes later, nothing...no eye contact, no clearing of the old crap and no acknowledgement that I was there. Subsequently, I left. Ordering nothing and having no professional service.
This place is cool....the ambiance is great...but honestly, the service SUCKS. There are many places I could chose from in that vicinity that has stellar service AND food/drinks. So I chose to go to one of those instead.
It is a shame that a bartender cannot multi-task and an establishment is void of customer service.
Come on PPMC....get it together! I don't think I will come back. Lux, Rumbar. and a host of other establishments puts short pants on your service. You may "look" good, but if cannot deliver, I'm out.
I will say that the brandy spiked sangria (which we had during our first visit) is extraordinary. Try it.....unfortunately, I'll go down the street to Carly's for their own version and get some proper service.
