点评:Honestly, the worst meal and service that I have had since I have been visiting and now residing in Vero Beach. Shocking, really, considering that last year we had several very nice meals there.
The place was about half capacity but apparently they were understaffed both in the kitchen and with servers. We were told that from the front end, so did expect some patience was required. We did not expect that it would take 20 minutes to get a glass of wine and over 45 minutes to get a starter course of just oysters and cocktail shrimp. And the two servers were apparently annoying each other over who would take care of us, so we heard choice words from one. Customers should never have to hear that.
Well, the food was horrid. The oysters had a very pungent odor - I’m love oysters, these were not fresh. The shrimp was like something from Publix. Knowing the kitchen was struggling, we kept our order quite simple: My wife ordered meatballs, I ordered fish tacos; I cannot recall what our friends ordered. The meatballs were rock hard, like pucks. The first tacos, also pungent. Even my friend commented on the smell. Again, perhaps not fresh. Shockingly bad food.
Finally, for a place that promotes itself as a wine establishment, with a list containing some gems, especially on champagne, they serve wine in heavy glass, poor stemware. And the stems smell like dishwasher detergent. That’s a big no-no for a wine place. I do not want to smell dishwasher residue in a glass of wine that is over $20 per. Major fail here.
This place needs some serious introspection about what they are doing here.
翻译:老实说,自从我访问并现在居住在维罗海滩以来,这是我吃过的最糟糕的一餐和服务。考虑到去年我们在那里吃了几顿非常美味的饭菜,真的很令人震惊。
这个地方大约有一半的容量,但显然他们在厨房和服务器上都人手不足。我们从前端被告知,所以确实需要一些耐心。我们没想到要花 20 分钟才能喝到一杯酒,而要花 45 分钟以上才能吃到只有牡蛎和鸡尾酒虾的开胃菜。这两个服务器显然在谁来照顾我们的问题上互相烦扰,所以我们听到了其中一个的选择词。客户不应该听到这些。
好吧,食物很糟糕。牡蛎有一种非常刺鼻的气味——我喜欢牡蛎,它们不新鲜。虾就像来自 Publix 的东西。知道厨房在挣扎,我们把订单保持得非常简单:我妻子点了肉丸,我点了鱼炸玉米饼;我不记得我们的朋友点了什么。肉丸像冰球一样坚硬。第一个炸玉米饼,也很刺鼻。甚至我的朋友也对这种气味发表了评论。再一次,也许不新鲜。令人震惊的糟糕食物。
最后,对于一个将自己宣传为葡萄酒场所的地方,有一份包含一些宝石的清单,尤其是香槟,他们用厚玻璃杯和劣质高脚杯供应葡萄酒。茎闻起来像洗碗机清洁剂。对于葡萄酒场所来说,这是一个很大的禁忌。我不想在一杯超过 20 美元的葡萄酒中闻到洗碗机残留物的味道。主要失败在这里。
这个地方需要认真反思他们在这里做什么。
