Sayra's Wine Bar, Far Rockaway NY

Someone in a previous review stated the service is slow here even though it’s not busy and they were absolutely correct.

Im writing this review on my second visit, I’m literally sitting here as I write this review and can assure you that both my first and second time here have been muddled by slow service.

But I’ll do you one better. Today, the person who greeted me and took my order last time was the same person today. And this person came out about 10 or 15 min after I sat in the back to say they forgot about me.

I don’t know about you, but I’m not coming to a wine bar to be forgotten about on a Friday night, or any other night for that matter. Now my first visit I was very generous with the tip, tonight who knows… I might just forget to tip as I think about the sour house wine I was served tonight as a slap in the face to the long wait and being forgotten about.

Ahhhhhh… but a las as the person just came back outside and our eyes locked as they took my follow up order, I just bumped this up to 4 stars out of trying to be nice. But don’t test me… I’ll drop you guys down to a 3 star real quick.

And here come your three stars.remember, I’m writing this as I sit at the restaurant…

Happy hour listed on the menu but when I get my check the price reflects full price. If I had been here to get saucy I guarantee you I wouldn’t have notice cause I trust a business will honor their advertised policy without me having to call them out on it.

I was really giving this establishment the benefit of the doubt… lucky I don’t call the Department of Consumer Affairs in over this, so I’m hoping management reads this review and others and steps it up.

This is a great place and potential cash cow given the development of the area, but with service like this you’re just missing out on free word of mouth advertising and 5 star reviews.

P.s.
I was still generous today, hopefully that buys some training.

Great place but they need to do something to control the mosquito population outside! They're worse than the raccoons lurking behind the fence. I got bit so much in one night there, that I had to leave and it looked like I had chicken pox when I got home that evening.
