Taste of Bevely Hills Food & Wine Festival
Spent over $200 per couple to taste on *** sized sliders and baby portion pastas. It was last day of the 4 days event. More than 20 booths out of 40 were closed...BBq of the Hills night meant tasting 2 strips of pork bellies, 1 grilled octopus, ribs, and nothing else. Event wasn't supposed to end til 11pm. By 10pm all the vendors had broke down and stop serving. Didn't even get to taste dessert which I was hoping to get to at 10pm. Sprinkles cupcakes that was heavily advertised for this event ran out of cupcakes on the last day??? among many....did we not just paid $150 per head? didn't see celebrities like they advertised for the last day. I've never felt so ripped off in my life. What was supposed to be a wine & dine evening turned out to be long lines of waiting for baby portion size food, wet floors from accidental spillage, and frugal pours of wine from some of the wine vendors. We left feeling we both ate about $25 worth of food & wine. I supposed the remaining of the $200 was donation on the FREE trolley ride we did enjoyed. Someone from the event should seriously reconsider refunded 50% of our hard earned money back.
