点评:Valentine's Day 2022, we Three Couples attended a Wine / Food Pairing Dinner at the Aqua Star in the Weston on Hutchinson Island. We had so much fun, we decided to repeat the experience this year. Sadly, our experience this year wasn't even close to being enjoyable.
To effectively experience Wine / Food Paring, the wine and the food must be served together. During our three (3) Course Meal, the wine was only served while the food was being served once. In each of the other courses, we had already finished our portion of the meal when the wine was served. And it was not that the restaurant was over crowded or had a shortage of staff. They were merely incompetent, unaware, and suffering from very low situational awareness.
It was not until the final course that the wine was actually served with the meal. The Sommelier would present a little note card to the table describing the name of the wine, but the wine bottle was never shown. Additionally, we had bread plates with butter knives, but bread was only served with we asked for it. While inquiring about the lack of bread with a staff member, we were told that the Manager didn't want to serve bread because he didn't want the guests to be overwhelmed. Not to worry because we were completely underwhelmed throughout the whole evening experience.
With a price of $150 PER PERSON, excluding tip and tax, this was by far the most mediocre meal we'd ever been served in Savannah.
I would expect a restaurant associated with the Weston to be far better.
The Piano Player was exceptional. But that's not why we were there...
For this price, we plan to dine at somewhere much more appealing next Valentine's Day.
翻译:2022 年情人节,我们三对情侣在哈钦森岛韦斯顿的 Aqua Star 参加了美酒佳肴搭配晚宴。我们玩得很开心,我们决定今年重复这种体验。可悲的是,我们今年的经历甚至不尽如人意。
要想有效体验美酒佳肴搭配,美酒佳肴必须搭配。在我们的三 (3) 道菜中,仅在上菜时才上酒。在其他每道菜中,我们在上酒时已经吃完了我们的那份饭菜。并不是餐厅人满为患或员工短缺。他们只是无能,没有意识,并且情境意识很低。
直到最后一道菜,酒才真正和饭菜一起端上来。侍酒师会在桌子上出示一张小卡片,上面写着酒的名称,但酒瓶从未展示过。此外,我们有带黄油刀的面包盘,但面包只在我们要求的情况下提供。在向工作人员询问缺少面包的情况时,我们被告知经理不想提供面包,因为他不想让客人不知所措。不用担心,因为在整个晚上的体验中我们完全不知所措。
价格为每人 150 美元,不包括小费和税费,这是迄今为止我们在萨凡纳吃过的最平庸的一餐。
我希望与 Weston 相关的餐厅会好得多。
钢琴演奏者非常出色。但这不是我们在那里的原因......
对于这个价格,我们计划在下一个情人节那天在更具吸引力的地方用餐。
