- NNeiltonyvipCalifornia Central Coast •64 reviews4.0Dined on Sep 10, 2023Their bar is not fully stocked, I ordered an Old Fashion. They said they didn’t have the right ingredients, and made it with Simple syrup. Told me if I didn’t care for it, I’d get it free. Well, it wasn’t exactly what I ordered, so it was free. The fresh oysters were really fishy. That speaks for itself. The burger was great, and their giant fries were outstanding. But, we ran out of ketchup, asked one of the servers if she could grab some. She first responded with, “ask your server”…. I kept staring at her, and she then said, “I’ll let her know”. She never did, and by the next time we saw our server, (Mary), at least 15 minutes had gone by. We had finished our excellent fries, without ketchup. The other server should have just taken 30 seconds, and grabbed us some ketchup. This was just totally ridiculous. No team work. If I were the owner, I’d be pretty disappointed! This place has a ton of potential though. If they can get a full bar, with some proper, creative mixologists, it will be a hit!More infoAlderwood PacificPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Santa Cruz•4.1
