text: This wine bar restaurant was recommended by a local friend but we had a very bad experience Summary Excellent food decent wine poor service nnMy wife and I were seated with menus and no wine list At a wine bar We had to ask for the wine list twice and the waiter who seemed overwhelmed with everything said something about having trouble finding one at a wine bar nnService was slow and inattentive After finally getting some wine and ordering some cheeses to start we ordered four small plates and asked them to be brought out two at a time We had already been there an hour before we finally got the busy waiter to take our order beyond cheese nnThings were taking too long we had budgeted two hours for wine and food before a concert and the first small plates were taking too long we asked to cancel the last two They tried bringing all four at the same time even though the table would not have been big enough nnThe place was hardly full at pm yet the waiter and apparently the kitchen seemed overwhelmed Again food was excellent and creative once we actually got it
