| - I go back and forth on this place... But I think I've made up my mind. Cool concept, but not really worth it. Ive been twice and both times I felt like we just wasted a lot of money for what we got. Fun place to show people that are in town (I guess) it's pretty to walk around there, but isn't somewhere I would just "go". There's tons of other places to eat and drink in that area that I would easily choose over here.
I'll start off with saying, no matter where I am service is everything to me. With that being said the service here.. mediocre, at best. You can tell they pick and choose who they'll give better service to - which I really don't like...
To start, I had asked the hostess for a booth, if we could (we were a party of three). It wasn't busy and there was one available. She told me she couldn't, they are meant for parties of 5, which seemed reasonable so I said it was okay no worries. She sat a party of three almost directly after us, when there were tables next to us.. They pick and choose who to give better service to..
As far as the wines with the cards, it is fun and it's a cool concept like I said, but with zero description as you stand there.. You kinda just have to choose one. Some are pricey and if you're going to spend money on a nicer wine.. You'd at least like to know a little about it.. Or I know we did. Luckily, we did like the wine and the bruschetta was nice.. (..but so? For what you pay, it should be)
Our server gave us some whatever explanation of everything with zero enthusiasm or personality.. I felt more of an inconvenience to her..
Bottom line, we've come twice. Same experience. I really wanted to like this place, but there are better wine bars in the valley with much better service and overall experience.
I'm the wine drinker of us two, so I know my boyfriend isn't dying to go back, but if I wanted to go I know he would take me. Unfortunately I really don't see myself suggesting we go again.. Nor would I recommend to my friends.
