"Our negative experience began with the hostess/waitress. She was un-informed, slow, pre-occupied, & unfriendly--almost to the point of being rude. It was our first visit to Bali Wine Bar & Grill, & we were unfamiliar with some of the terminology used to describe ingredients on the menu. When I asked her to explain the unfamiliar ingredients, she told me to read the introductory paragraphs on the menu--which did not describe the items that I asked her about. After our iced tea was served, it took a full 15 minutes to bring the lumpia, which was very skimpy for the price (3 small pieces for $8.95). After we finished the lumpia, it was a half-hour before our chicken entree was served. Never during this half-hour were we offered water or tea refills or any explanation for the delay. During this half-hour wait, we were the only people left in the restaurant, so it wasn't like the kitchen was busy. The chicken entree was very skimpy--two dry, unremarkably-seasoned pieces of chicken accompanied by a very small amount of sauteed veggies & a small bowl of rice.
Usually, sharing an appetizer & an entree is quite enough food for my husband & me, but these portions were insulting. (We are both small people & do not eat large portions.) Adding insult to injury, we even had to ask for our bill. This server was preoccupied the entire time we were there with talking to 2 women who were obviously there on restaurant-related business. Needless to say, we will never return to Bali Wine Bar & Grill.
