Bleasdale — Attraction in Langhorne Creek

The nail in the coffin was when my husband ordered a glass of wine and the inexperienced young girl serving us poured it, noting she wasn't sure how much was in the bottle. She was right. There was about 3/5ths of a glass. She just shrugged and walked away but still charged us. Please, a little staff training...
