| - We live a couple of blocks from the District and enjoy going down there, until the day they decide to put a street down the center of the stores. Then the District becomes a strip mall shopping center. But, that is another story.
We have gone to the Presidio for years, going back to when it first opened up as Kennedy's. We like the 5-7 Happy Hour. They changed the HH menu since our last trip there. Some of the food items are the same, some are new. The beef and chicken satays are still available but you now get just 4 instead of 6. They still are good.
We had a new item, the French Dip Sliders. They were good, not great. A little more beef would have been good and the au jus could have been tastier. The mini-crab cakes were good, exceeded our expectations, but one of the sauces was quite hot. Not that big of deal.
We used to really like the flatbread pizza so we ordered the sausage one. They really are small circular pizzas, not a true flatbread by any means. The sausage one was quite tasty. At $5 an item, the Happy Hour prices for food aren't really a bargain. Well, perhaps for the crab cakes it was a good price and possibly the filet mignon sliders, but we didn't have those.
The house wine is $4 a glass and it is an adequate pour and quality. Well drinks are half-price and there are special prices for beer.
The service usually has been good at the Presidio. It took a few minutes this time to get noticed and the food expediters were quite good. A downturn happened when we were finished and wanted to pay and leave. We could not find our wait person anywhere. This continued for over 20 minutes. Finally, my wife left our table and went to the bartender to ask for our bill. One of the guys who had brought our food brought over our bill. Just then, our wait person showed up from behind. It turns out she had been sitting at a table with a friend for the now 25+ minutes of our wait. Normally, we tip 20+% as we are former wait people and I was even a past restaurant owner. We tipped 15% tonight. After we walked out, we both said we wish we wouldn't have tipped quite so much. Keeping your clients waiting for 20+ minutes without making an appearance while sitting with your friends is not good service.
We will go back to get the crab cakes and the filet mignon sliders. With the Elephant Bar in the District with their exceptional Happy Hour, it might be awhile for us to come back. However, the outdoor sitting at the Presidio is nice which we enjoy sitting at for dinner with friends.
The place is good, but the Happy Hour has taken a step down.
