With eager anticipation we awaited the Hotel St Germain Spice Route Wine Tasting (Arabia/Afrika) on July 11, 2003. That for which were so excited turned into an utter disappointment. From the initial walk-up to the hotel (the facitlities are in dire need of a coat of paint!) to the lack of acknowledgement upon our departure, the evening was most unpleasant.
The execution of the buffet / wine tasting was reminiscent of a 1980s wine and cheese party. Lack of organization and professionalism ruled the evening. The food was mediocre at best, and the selection of wines quite average. Of course, the quintessential "Dallas nouveau riche", under-dressed crowd was in the majority (even though the reservation confirmation specified a "coat & tie" requirements).
What could have been a delightful evening was a total bust!
