| - Fantastic bar. Excellent cocktails. Very good and cheap food. Low key ambiance - perfect for conversing with friends without straining your vocal cords (we were here on a Sunday night - from what I read on other reviews, this might not be the case on other nights). This place specialized in rum and rum based cocktails, but since we came here during "invasion cocktails" week we also tried some of the specials on the menu: - Legionnaire - which tasted like a creamy rich ice coffee, and the beautiful l'apoticaire. Another nice and surprising cocktail was a hot chocolate cocktail.
The service in this bar is it's weak point; the staff is super nice, but they are pretty slow. It took them half an hour to take an order, and our server changed three times (which caused some mistakes with the bills). Also, I had ordered bacon wrapped sausage with dates, and about half an hour later the waiter came back to say they don't have dates, and suggested I pick another dish. Then another 20 minutes went by before any server approached to take the order. Again - he was nice and all, but since the place was more empty than full, I would expect a more attentive service. One point to their credit - after serving the cocktails (boy, that took for ever!) the waiter came to make sure we were happy with them, and suggested to add soda to one that my friend though too sweet for his taste.
I honestly had an awesome night here, and if it wasn't for the slow service, they would have gotten a fifth star! I will probably be back later this summer to try the outdoor seating in the back - that looks awesome!
