We sat here for about an hour talking to our Winetender, Haik. The concept is pretty cool, the prices were reasonable, selections were decent, and the company was spot on. Great reason to stop shopping with the missus and sit a spell with a tasty beverage! Score!

Weiterlesen We were four, and we all had the 29.90 menu and a bottle of wine. Everything in the menu was expensive and were few choices, but this is usually a good sign (not many choices , that the food is good, and it fact it was. We all had the foie gras for the entrée which was very good, I had the dorade, friends had the lamb chops and steak and we all had desert. Everyone was in agreement that the food was delicious. The wine was good and the interior decor was also very nice. However... very slow.... Upon arriving we had to wait at least 10 minutes, probably more to get the menus. After a waiting a while, feeling ignored, no-one coming by asking if we wanted drinks or suchlike, we asked about getting a menu and got a surprising answer that there were only nine menus and they were all being used at the moment. When we arrived at the beginning of service we were the only people sitting inside. We counted approx 20 inside tables of two/four, and perhaps 8 tables more outside, and they only had only 9 menus... When finally we did get the menus, I asked about one entrée and the waitress did not know what it was, and had to go ask the kitchen. I mean there were two menus (20e and 29e , each having two choices of entrée and she does not know what it is....? So after another long wait we get a very good foie gras. However, when finished, the waitresses were standing around the cash register in full view of us with our dirty plates at our elbows. I guess, since our main dish was not ready so we were ignored so we sat there talking, clearly finished but with dirty plates at our elbows for another very, very long wait. Three different couples who had arrived after us were getting deserts, others coffees and others obviously finished and yet we had not been served our meal. We asked and were told that since we had ordered the meats well cooked, it was taking longer!!! She noticed our surprise at this lame answer and added that we were a big group so takes longer!! We answered that we were FOUR people! Four people, is not a big group (conversation with the waitress in French as my three companions are native French people . She then pointed at one couple and said they did not have an entrée. (how long does it take to prepare a serving of foie gras we asked ourselves?? The excuses just got lamer... Anyway, there were no apologies, nothing, just these lame excuses implying that it was OUR FAULT that it was taking so long! So bottle of wine long finished, and everyone else inside except one couple eaten and gone, and we are finally served our food. We counted it was now appox 1.5 hours since we arrived.... Again, very good food, one friend however, a restaurant owner himself, claimed that neither of the steaks were anywhere near the 300g 's advertised in the menu (I personally cannot judge this . The deserts came quite quickly (by now we almost now the only people in the restaurant and also all agreed were very good. At the end the waitress did offer us some liqueur for the wait, very typical, but was not sufficient to make me want to try this place again.

Weiterlesen As a kid I remember going to the mall and begging my mom and dad for an Orange Julius. Every time. I wouldn't always get one, but when I did I would savor each sip from the straw until I heard the empty cup sound. Jamba Juice brings back that feeling. It's a grown ups Orange Julius because (save for the sugar) these drinks aren't too bad for you! It's not processed high fructose garbage. It's actual fruits and vitamins that goes into it. This is one of those mall stops you must make. Sip until you hear the empty sound!
