Wine Country

Decideed to meet a friend who loves wine here for dinner and drinks during the week. We probably should've taken off when the guy working was looking around in a mini fridge for a Malbec. He finally got a co-worker who informed him that red wines aren't refrigerated. He must have not only been new to wines, but new to serving altogether. He took our order without writing it down and so had to come back to clarify salad dressings and sides. Both of our dinner choices were plain and underwhelming. Mine had about 12 ounces of brie inside which was total cheese overload, not to mention brie isn't packed with flavor! He came out to check on us and he just picked up our plates and walked away with them without asking if we were done eating! I was but my friend was not. We definitely are done with this place though!

They served my red wine in a small wine glass that allowed no room to aerate(swirl) the wine and from the bitter taste they didn't decant it.  So I stirred my wine with the fork at the table.... not cool at 9 dollars a glass.  They have a very nice atmosphere and I wish the best for a future.

Wow. I am mortified that I asked friends to join me here. After a great experience a month ago, I have had the worst dining experience ever in Peoria Heights. Cold food, no service, oily fish, having to go to the bar to get our own drinks and silverware... Based on similar experiences from the tables around us, we will never come back here to eat.
