I met up with Candice here at J.T. Schmid’s after having happy hour at the Winery with another friend. I had eaten some very delish food prior to arriving so I didn’t eat much off the menu. We took a seat outside on the patio after making a sweep through the bar area and being unsatisfied. At least outside, we can people watch if the crowd in house is minimal, right?
There were men there so I’ll give the S-factor a 2. The crowd seemed to be heavily in the 20s-30s age range. Several groups were seated outside so any clusters of men there were not so approachable. A good patio always “ups” the atmosphere and ambience.
The service was good for the most part but I was annoyed by our server at the end. We ordered Brew house nachos from the happy hour menu and were asked if we wanted to add chicken or beef on them. We chose beef. When the bill came, we noticed they were more expensive than advertised. Upon inquiring, we found out that the beef was additional. Typically, when I’ve eaten out, servers notify me of the difference in price (especially after seeing me holding the reduced price happy hour menu) and then confirm that the difference is okay. The food is just okay. Maybe I could blame it on the Winery since the food paled in comparison to what I had just eaten there.

Well I must admit I have been seriously procrastinating writing a review of this happy hour outing. Aside from the standard selection of beers at your typical brew house, the food was dismal, the service equally inadequate, and the entertainment/S factor value paltry at best. To be honest, I cannot even recall the specific food items I ordered—simply that the experience left no positive lasting impression. I should add that it was not a horrible experience but simply uninteresting. You might be one of those readers who then question why we tortured ourselves and remained at this establishment throughout the happy hour evening. First and most importantly, we like to try and stay true to our “research.” Secondly, I had to finish my beer. Hello. However, as I like to try and be an optimistic, I will highlight a perk, which is the spacious patio seating and ability to casually observe any passer byes that might be of interest and enhance the overall entertainment value. Sadly, there were none that evening. Other than that, I will admit that this was a not one of the most entertaining Friday evening happy hours we have experienced. I would definitely suggest alternative establishments to scope out in the immediate surroundings. Check please!
