Bearfoot Bistro - Wine Pricing (Merged)

[Oyster Guy]

This may be past the statute of limitations for complaining, but about 7 years ago, as 3 of us were sitting down to dinner at Bearfoot Bistro, the waiter began with "Would you like to celebrate the day of skiing with a glass of Champagne?". Caught up in his spirit, we failed to do what I normally do -- ask the price -- and assumed we would get a good Champagne at a reasonable price, kind of like ordering a house wine or a mixed drink. They served us Veuve Clicquot (which was their least expensive Champagne) -- at $35 per glass! Again, this was 7 years ago.

Obviously we should have asked, but nonetheless we felt this price was out of line. I should mention that the main reason I don't go there any more is that I feel their food, as well, is overrated and overpriced.

7 years ago? Times do change, Bruce.

Our food is not over-rated and if it has been 7 years since you were in the place then how you are qualified to even make a remark like that.

It is like me saying, that because I had an American tourist that acted like a jerk 7 years ago that I should not be nice to them based on one single experience.

You are entitled to your opinion, Bruce but should it not be an informed one?

And you don't mention having dinner anywhere in your reply so I have to assume that you only had one drink and left.

The chef has also changed and if my timelines are correct then the chef cooking the over-rated food at that time was Eric Vernice, the same chef you just finished raving about in your thread about Apres in Whistler.

It's too bad that you feel this way but you are entitled to your opinion sir.

Keep on shucking
