I read the reviews which said that this was a good place to watch a game and the scenery (female) was pretty good too. I had never been here, so today I decided to check it out for lunch. Glad I only spent $14. I will never be back.
It's been a LONG time (actually probably NEVER) when I've encountered a wait staff person who came off as arrogant as the bartender at Cabo Joe's today. I don't drink, so I ordered a lemonade, and I asked her to water it down, "because they are usually way too sweet." She did. It was all downhill from there. It really gets me that some establishments whose income is based primarily on alcohol consumption treat a non-drinker as some kind of alien, and the only thing I can figure out is, that's exactly what happened to me today. I know the bartender's name because it's on my receipt. I'm not going to mention that, because it's not my intention to infringe on anyone's career. But if I would have to describe her attitude in one word, it would be "SNOTTY". She never smiled one time. I ordered two fish tacos. When she brought them I said, "thanks". She never said one word, as if it was a chore for her to deliver my order. She didn't even bring me a fork until I asked her for one. Everyone knows how messy tacos are......what was I supposed to do, grab the spilled ingredients with my fingers? I will say that the fish tacos were pretty good. $4.95 each, so $9.90 for two, plus a lemonade, plus tax = $13.98. I was done pretty quickly because I just wanted to get out of there. She was about 20 feet away, chatting with other patrons. She never checked to see how my food was. I had pushed the plate over to the bar and left a $20 next to it, but she never got the hint. I had to wave the $20 at her to get her attention. She gave me six "ones" as change, obviously expecting a tip. She didn't get one. Again, she never said one word to me, not even a thank you, and never smiled one time. WHAT a welcoming atmosphere.
In closing, apparently some female bartenders with beautiful long brown/blonde hair down to their butt who are wearing a very revealing bikini bottom are convinced that their you-know-what just does not stink, and they are doing a man a favor by waiting on him. That's sure the way it seemed to me. Add to all that, it was 2:00 PM on a Wednesday. NOT BUSY.
Football season is right around the corner, and I'm a big 49ers fan. I'll choose another bar in which to watch a game. read more
