We ordered the vegetable spatzle ($24) which tasted like cheesy vegetable egg noodles. It was good with hot sauce, otherwise a little too bland for me. The trout ($28) was cooked well and they deboned it, which was a nice touch. We also got the bratwurst plate ($23) which came with sauerkraut, cabbage, and mashed potatoes. Service was okay, although slow and less attentive than one would expect for a nearly empty restaurant. Maybe because we were seated outdoors? Our water glasses remained unfilled once they were empty.

Okay okay okay. So. Listen. San Carlos. Little town. Little sleepy little town on the peninsula,…read moreright? It's 9pm and I'm just walking down Laurel Street, which by the way has some REALLY good spots, they really do, and then. THEN. I hear it. Pianos. Two of them. Are they fighting?? No wait, they're DUELING. Two guys absolutely going at it on the keys, taking requests, and the crowd is just vibing. I mean really vibing. The cocktails are flowing, people are singing, and somewhere in the back of my head a little voice says "this is going to be a late night." I did not listen to that voice. No regrets. The whiskey selection is, and I say this with complete authority and only slightly blurry vision, "surprisingly incredible". The cocktails are also dialed in, they've got concoctions on the menu that you may have never heard of, or just pick the vibe you're going for and trust the process. I trusted the process. Multiple times. I used to go to Savannah Jazz back in the day. RIP, still not over it, but honestly?? This place might actually be BETTER. I said what I said. The music hits different when it's right in the middle of the whole room instead of tucked in the back somewhere. Oh and there's an outdoor area too for when you need some of that cool peninsula night air to... recalibrate. I used it. It helped. Briefly.

Plus the crowd was mainly old, creepy white men who hit on me in that condescending manner they use when they underestimate you. I didn't stay long enough to bother ordering a drink.

Called up the store around 8:20 pm, found out they close at 9 pm and jumped into the car to get there at 8:45 pm. First walked in... no greeting but , "we are closing in 15 minutes." At the aisle , I quickly gathered what I needed since I was there earlier in the day while Katrina came by reminded me twice that BevMo is closing by 9 pm and I need to ring you up . "Yes, I know " At 8:52 at cash register... Man says I needed to wait for Katrina to ring me up . 8:55 pm Katrina says: "You need to get to me before because I don't need to be ringing you up before closing. You should come earlier in the day . You should come back tomorrow . You should come back another day etc.." Btw, I was helping her organize my purchases on the counter to get rung up, bagging my stuff etc.. With all that talking from her, I still got out at 9:02. Some other customers behind me also needed to be rung up. Not happy. I never had such bad customer service. Upper management should take a close look at their staff. If there are people in the store shopping before 9 pm closing hours, they should be able to finish their purchase and not be harassed when they are trying to pay. They should not be told to "come back tomorrow " etc... Wow...

Great selection of wine and spirits, friendly staff, and easy to find what I needed here!read more
