So, this time wasn't so good. We returned here with some expectations built from last time. We walk in -- no greetings, the two servers just minding their business. I ask for the wine list, only to be told that the list is lost. In my mind, Really? Is this really happening? The server digs out a few bottles of white wine from the fridge, but I am uninspired and non committed, so I told him I would go with by the glass selection. He is also uninspired by my choice as his face turns stoic. This is going great.
The other server brings the list, and we decide to stay put and get a bottle and get a few bites -- the deviled eggs, brussel sprouts, and stuffed mushrooms. The dishes were generally all fine, except they did take long to come out.
So we were sitting at the bar, but decided to move out side, so we tell the server that we were doing so, and he said, "ok". No help with moving the plates or glasses. In my mind again, is this really happening?
Despite this lack of service, we decided to make it at home and enjoyed the crisp outdoor ambiance very much. The "don't fucking touch me, I mind my own business" guy even came out and topped our wine. The other server though, brought our check only to tell us that we ordered a bottle and we have some wine left. For the last time, in my mind, is this really happening?
We do our thing and took time to finish the wine, and asked my friend to go up to settle the bill with the minimum tip, since I was afraid that I might say something complanatory and did not want the subpar experience ruin the evening.
So my verdict -- the service really sucked at this place. For a while, the only place I'd be frequenting in Aptos is the BBQ joint. I will and encourage others to bypass this uninspiring place altogether.
