Pub -

It must have been a bad day. We often walk over to Johnny's Pizza Stone and Pub for a pizza and cold beer after tasting wine all day. This time we thought we would order other things off the menu, so we did. This must've been a bad service day four was slow to nonexistent at times. Angele where were you when we needed you. The next time we are in Prosser we will try it one more time. We always give a place a second chance.
