Sadly, I won't be returning to Herbs and Rye.\n\nMy favorite waiter, Ronnie, informed me the last time I was there that the new manager has instituted a very high corkage policy that is nothing short of punitive.\nGiven that this restaurant has a very limited, not to mention mediocre, wine selection, punishing wine collectors like me is a breathtakingly stupid policy.\n\nHere's a math lesson for this boy-wonder manager, who will no doubt be managing an Arby's in the future:\nFair corkage in a restaurant should be the cost of the lowest-priced glass of wine on the menu....which is what I had. \nThat means the restaurant made a few dollars on the sale. If they had charged me the same as that glass of wine to open my bottle, let's say $12, that would have been pure profit....and they wouldn't have lost a customer. \nSo stupid.
