I rarely write reviews for restaurants; however, after certain events, I thought I had better write a review.
For the most part the pizza is good. There is a decent selection of beers on tap Having said that, the prices are steep.
The reason i mention the steep prices is because the manager at the Acre Pizza in Cotati is rude. AND we all believe that if we are paying those steep prices for the food and beverages THEN we should be treated with respect.
Every Thursday at 6:30, we play pub trivia. Acre Pizza HIRED North Bay Trivia to host the weekly event. Depending on the weather, we either play inside (yes, it gets loud) or outside when it is more pleasant...not downpouring. And the outdoor area has a mostly covered section with ample seating.
Last Thursday, February 29, the rain was back in full force. So, I went inside to get an indoor seat...only to be told that most of the indoor seating would be unavailable for the trivia patrons. (I should add that we spend ALOT of money when we are there. We do not simply show up, maybe have one drink, and that is it. A typical team might spend $150.) The manager started putting chairs on tables to deter anyone from having an indoor seat. Her solution was to allow us to sit at one of four tables grouped together. I should also add that we usually pack most of the restaurant. And because of the complaints "they have received", we would not be able to use the speaker to hear the host read the questions AND there would be no music round....since that is also "too loud".
Begrudgingly, I moved outside. However, half of the tables were not entirely under the covered section. Thus, those tables were getting rained on. I asked if they could move those tables and benches to be completely under the covered section AND to dry them off. The manager said that not only would they NOT move the tables. BUT they would only dry them off IF it stopped raining. I said that she really wasn't working with us...and she promptly interrupted me to justify her actions. Apparently, the owner of Acre Pizza authorized this course of action. Also, it gets too loud when held indoors so they cannot hear the phone ring or they cannot hear the person on the other end of the phone. When she was done talking, i tried to reason with her once again..at which point, she crossed her arms and put her back to me to basically tell me that she really doesn't care what i had to say.
i should add that a male employee actually came out afterwards to do what i had asked...he moved the tables and wiped all of the water off. So, not really sure what happened....or why I had to be insulted?
After speaking with other patrons, i have learned of other bad experiences with this "manager". She pours the wrong beer and will not acknowledge that she made a mistake (a PBR was given in lieu of the ordered IPA).
My hope in posting this message is that the owner of Acre Pizza reads this. There are many patrons who will not be attending the trivia tonight in a form of protest. I know that we give them a lot of business. We would like to continue playing there...but we honestly do not feel as if we are welcome. And if that is the case, we can gladly spend our money elsewhere.
