My wine was brought to me in a hot glass. Next drink - a short measure - prosecco glass for a 250. Didnt take it seriously. Was p in charge again. Dismissed me. I enjoyed the vibe, the people I was with, but thought customer service for me was so very poor. If you actually read your reviews, please respond. I love giving positive customer feedback but was not able to on...
