点评:Our hopes for a wonderful experience did not occur.
A local doctor recommended McEvoy Ranch for a relaxing afternoon of wine and oil tastings.
Unaware of the need for a reservation, the hostess found a table where she could serve us while also tending to the gift shop area.
We appreciated the accommodation and assured her (Marie) we would be low maintenance.
We ordered tastings, 2 wine flights, 1 oil, 1 vinegar and 1 summer tapas. We thoroughly enjoyed the scenery, music and tastings- exactly what we were hoping to experience, staying roughly 1 1/2 hours.
As we were paying our bill, another customer interrupted and asked the price of an item in the store, apologizing for the interruption yet the server/cashier stated "dont worry they are just walk-ins". This unfortunately ruined our entire experience. It rolled so quickly off her tongue and insulted our family. Once she assisted the other customer she continued with ringing up our bill, while noticing it wasn't our items, she corrected it multiple times. We purchased 4 items in the shop and with our tastings and a 25% tip, our bill was over $300. We rechecked our bill after paying and noticed that we were double charged on an item and shared this with the cashier/server. She corrected the $48.71 (summer tapas) overcharge and we left. Oddly enough, when we returned home, we visited their website, noting that on Tuesday's (the day we visited), has a buy one get one free on wine and oil tastings- clearly we did not receive this discount either (order #2000285229).
Was this stop worth it, undecided.
However the atmosphere was very peaceful, the menu items are over priced and our interaction with the server that clearly acted like she did us a favor was not worth the stop.
翻译:我们原本期待能有一段美妙的体验,但事与愿违。
当地的一位医生向我们推荐了麦克沃伊庄园,说可以在那里轻松地品尝葡萄酒和橄榄油。
由于不知道需要提前预订,女主人只好找了一张桌子,一边为我们服务,一边照看礼品店。
我们很感激她的周到安排,还向她(玛丽)保证我们会尽量不添麻烦。
我们点了品酒服务:两组葡萄酒样品、一份橄榄油、一份醋,还有一份夏日风味的小吃拼盘。我们非常享受那里的景色。有音乐演奏和品鉴环节——这正是我们期望能体验到的,我们在那里待了大约1个半小时。
结账时,另一位顾客打断我们,询问店里某件商品的价格。他为打扰我们而道歉,但服务员/收银员却说道:“没关系,他们只是随便看看的顾客而已。”这一句话彻底毁掉了我们的整个体验。这话她说得轻描淡写,却深深地冒犯了我们一家人。在接待完那位顾客后,她才继续为我们结账。虽然注意到那并非我们点的菜品,她还是多次进行了修正。我们在店里购买了4样菜品,加上试吃费用以及25%的小费后,账单总额超过了300美元。付款后我们重新核对了账单,发现有一样菜品被重复收费了,于是将这一情况告知了收银员/服务员。她纠正了那笔48.71美元的超额收费(夏季塔帕斯的费用),随后我们便离开了。奇怪的是,回到家后我们浏览了他们的网站,发现上面写着:周二(即我们光顾的那天)。他们提供葡萄酒和橄榄油试饮的买一送一优惠——显然我们也没有享受到这个折扣(订单号#2000285229)。
这一站是否值得停留,我还没拿定主意。
不过那里的氛围确实很宁静,只是菜品价格偏高;而那位服务员的表现简直就像是在施恩于我们一般,这种服务实在不值得我们特意前来。
