    To be fair, the staff who work at Merlots By The Sea are really friendly. And they do the best they…read morecan. But the system is a bit silly. Especially seeing as the place is VERY popular and crowded! Good on the business owners for having a really trendy little venue right on the beach front! But a bit of improvement is needed to cater for the masses. To order your drinks, you must queue up at the counter for ages. If you want a beer on tap, you have a choice of two: Peroni or Carlton Light. So I guess wine drinkers would have more choice, seeing as it's a wine bar. Still, regardless of your choice of drop, you must pay for your drink there at the counter, and then go back to your table and WAIT 20 minutes for them to bring it out! They don't pour it out or give it to you there and then. So much for a pre-dinner drink while you decide what to eat. After you receive your drinks, you then have to wait another 20-30 minutes before someone comes over to take your meal orders. And then after you've ordered, there's another 20-30 minute wait. Don't come here for a quick feed before a movie. You will be here for several hours so strap yourself in and just enjoy the scenery and the company you're with. The food - tapas, a little salad, small snack plates of chips, bits of fish, various other tidbits - is ok. It's not mind blowing. It won't fill you up. But it's pleasant enough. You spend a lot of time waiting between drinks and food so there's plenty of time for you to digest everything. And it's a nice and pleasant environment with relaxed lighting and atmosphere. Great opportunity to talk with your group or family. One great thing is they allow everybody to pay for their meals separately. On card too! Amazing! Do you know how hard it is to find a restaurant in this modern age who allow this? Most restaurants still insist upon the whole table of diners pooling their cash together, or having one person foot the whole bill on their card while the rest of the table have to pay that one person back later. Letting us all queue up and pay for our own meals on card separately is a huge bonus. I wouldn't say no if I was invited to come back. I'm prepared now to wait. But maybe I'll try the wine next time.
