Saw in the Independent this week that Roblar is hiring waitstaff and a host, what a great place for a restaurant!!

I can't believe no one has thought of this idea yet!

She was at the Maverick- people tried to take her keys away- guess they didn't try hard enough. Those same people called the CHP. They should have tried harder. I'll bet they feel horrible.....

So sad, and so preventable.

Anyone go to the Valentines Day Dinner they are still advertising? The menu sounded adventurous, anyone have any idea if it went on as planned? Good?

Now that their Chef has moved on to American Flatbread- I wonder how the quailty of food is?

The locals are calling Roblar "Grappolo North", every other weekend is Leonardo Curti- anyone can go and see him cook for $35.00 a plate at the restaurant.

I have had a similar experience at Roblar Winery.

I found the wines young and over-priced. The staff at the bar, while nice, was sadly informed on wine production- the pourer told me that the white wine was made with the skins on - and that they removed them during the malo-lactic fermenting just before being bottled. Okay.

We ordered lunch, and I was served pesto in place of soup. I ordered asparagus soup and recieved a bowl of pesto!! The panini were laughable- the tri tip was biscotti
sized, none of panini had melted cheese- and the bread was stale.

As for the Portuguese woman in charge there, she refused to apologize while pressed to explain why I was served pesto. She tried to tell our group that in Brazil that is how soup of the day is prepared, with a dollop of pesto (????).

What a waste of a great location, hope someday they get a decent winemaker, instead of a corporate no-nothing.
