Regrettably, my recent dining experience at Roland Wines in Longview, WA establishment fell short of expectations. Despite our two-hour wait, we received our food to go, and the wood-fired pizzas, which should not have required an extensive cooking time, were of personal size. The establishment appeared to be understaffed, leading to a lack of communication and subpar customer service. The owner's apparent disregard for customer satisfaction further compounded our disappointment.
Conversely, the family-owned restaurants I frequented in Europe provided exceptional customer service and culinary experiences, fostering a sense of belonging and offering reasonably priced meals. In contrast, the experience at Roland Wines in Longview, WA failed to meet these standards.

Now I fully realize we were not at a fast food restaurant, but it took 40 minutes for the appetizer to show up (mind you we checked on our food after 30 minutes & were told "it's in the oven") and 51 minutes for the pizza to arrive. They ended up having to bring the pizza to us in a box so we could eat it on the way to the movie. Not impressed and definitely will not go back. I forgot to mention we were there 20 minutes before opening. They were happy to seat us and get us drinks. We placed our food order at 5:02 immediately after they "opened" so I don't buy that they were busy and that's why it took so long to get our food. To top it all off, the pizza was greasy and the food was a bit over priced for...
