Dear Isabella,
Your restaurant is beautiful. Your bar is magnificent. The views across the desert golf course landscape are incredible. I could sit there all day.
But...
Why would you choose to staff your hostess area with a crew of poorly trained, unfriendly and seemingly uncaring people? Isn't that like the first rule of any customer service oriented business? Create a warm and welcoming first impression? Our rather bored hostess walked us to a table only after we asked nicely after perusing the menu (obviously, we were new to the restaurant). Perhaps my non-designer jeans and clunky Croc flip-flops were distasteful to her but I could have been a millionaire for all she knew. Don't all patrons deserve a smile and a friendly welcome? Even those with a serious style deficit?
I enjoyed your Cool Collins cocktail but for $9.50 on a Friday evening at 5 p.m. (ever heard of happy hour?), I expected more. The pizza ... meh.
I wish you well Isabella. I wanted to like you.
