| - Poor service, great music...
Just got home from the Mbar. After waiting 15 minutes for bar service I went to the bar, and its a good thing too. Keep reading...
In the area directly across from the band there were three couples seated including us. Over the course of over an hour the server passed by us six or seven times and only served one of the three couples.
This was amazing to me as everyone else we came in contact with was very courteous - the valet, the bartender, some guy driving by in a golf cart...
After an hour, and right before we left the server came over and asked if we needed anything and that's when I asked, "Why has it taken an hour for you to ask if we needed anything?" She said, "It looked like you had everything you needed."
I went to the hostess station directly next to where we were seated and after the hostess saw me taking the manager's business card she asked if she could do anything. I said, "We were seated right in front of you for over an hour and you're asking now that we're leaving?" She answered, "I'm sorry, I was very busy." I responded, "Too busy? I was directly in front of you." and I walked away.
What kind of service do you expect when you're paying $13 for a drink?
On the other hand, the music was great. A five person jazz band that started with some Al Green and Curtis Mayfield. After a few songs they moved into some great jazz. These guys are really good and I'll be watching them when they play in some other venue.
