🙂 4/5 - What was the sommelier thinking?

Arriving at opening for a Sunday jazz evening we joked with the doorman whose image was that of a classic British establishment, as was the mien of Charlie’s. The original oak paneling coupled with an imaginative fresco and a classic plaster ceiling offered a mien of tradition, style, and substance. The limited dining menu we subsequently learned offered dishes creatively prepared from the best of ingredients and plated to tantalize the appetite. After a cocktail at the table we selected an English sparkling wine recommended by the sommelier who presented the bottle and she was right - it was a fine wine. So everything progressed and we anticipated an elegant evening of one jazz. When the wine glasses were not immediately replenished we signaled to the waiter who called the sommelier who had some non-understandable excuse as to why the wine had not been replenished (certainly not the we had not ordered a bottle). We suggested to the sommelier that she needed to up her game. Imagine our surprise when the wine glasses were then not later replenished as a bottle will pour more than four small glasses. So we signaled the Room Manager and told him of our dissatisfaction. After checking he returned with the implausible excuse that there had been a miscommunication as the sommelier said she believed that we had only ordered two glasses of wine. That was at best a fabrication as my wife and I had discussed with her the ordering of a bottle which she has presented and which she had not mentioned at the first replenishment. Any way, the Room Manager later apologized for the events, asserted that we were right in our anticipation of service, and offered a very meaningful reduction in the bill. Other than that incident we had a great evening with good food and smooth Great American Song Book music. We will return because it is improbable that next time the then sommelier will be so off the ball.
