点评:Wow! What a disappointment!
We are well travelled Australians who have eaten in some of the best restaurants in the World.
I researched where I could take my wife for lunch for her birthday along with my son, who lives locally and I settled on Niner Wine Estates.
I even got recommendations from other local restaurants like Novo in SLO - now that is a great dining experience for half the price of this joint.
Sure, the surrounding buildings and landscape are lovely, but that was it…
Why did the guy on the door hand us a sip of wine on arrival and then keep us waiting, shuffling our feet before someone could escort us to our table?
Why did the extremely boring waiter look like he wanted to be anywhere else than serving tables. He was incredibly arrogant and superior and consequently deserved his $10 tip as a mark of appreciation for his extremely underwhelming service.
Why was the wine sold at $20 a glass when it was no better than an Australian wine at $10 a bottle?
And why did the much lauded pork dish comprise half fat and gristle and a bit of edible meat and the rest of the plate was filled with cabbage and black rice - even I could have slapped that together?
And don’t talk to me about the cost of the meal!

我们是经常旅行的澳大利亚人,曾在世界上最好的一些餐厅用餐。
我研究了可以带妻子和住在当地的儿子去哪里吃午餐庆祝她的生日,最后我选择了 Niner Wine Estates。
我甚至得到了其他当地餐馆的推荐,比如 SLO 的 Novo - 现在,这是一个很棒的用餐体验,价格只有这家餐厅的一半。
当然,周围的建筑和风景很美,但仅此而已……
为什么门口的那个人在我们到达时递给我们一口酒,然后让我们等着,拖着脚步,直到有人把我们带到我们的餐桌前?
为什么那个极其无聊的服务员看起来不想去任何地方。他非常傲慢和高人一等,因此他应该得到 10 美元的小费,以表示对他极其令人失望的服务的赞赏。
为什么这瓶酒卖 20 美元一杯,而它并不比一瓶 10 美元的澳大利亚葡萄酒好多少?
为什么备受赞誉的猪肉菜由一半脂肪和软骨以及一点可食用的肉组成,而盘子的其余部分则装满了卷心菜和黑米 - 甚至我都可以将它们混合在一起?
不要跟我谈论这顿饭的价格!
