| - I've been there probably 2 times before and have had no problems with this bar in the past. But today will be the last time I ever go there. I was supposed to meet a friend after working and took a seat early hoping to sneak in a drink right quick in prior to the arrival of my friend. I wait for over 5 minutes. No hello or eye contact from the waitress who passes me twice. Its only me and probably 2 or 3 other patrons at the lounge. This place is pretty dead -- its 11am. Luckily theres ESPN NBA highlights on the TV behind the bar which I start to watch while waiting.
I figure, screw sitting @ the lounge I'll just move to the bar, I'm closer to the TV and the bartender isn't too busy I'll get my drink in no time right? Wrong. The bar is empty, like 2 other patrons besides me. About a minute or two passes, still no acknowledgment, hi, hello, nothing. A group of about 5 people show up after me on the opposite side of the bar. He quickly serves the other patron beside me and moves on to the group. At this point I'm done with Moderno. By this time approximately 10 minutes pass and my friend arrives. Frustrated and drink-less, I leave and head over to City Bar, another lounge adjacent to Jean Phillipe, where the beautiful waitress hands me my 2 roasted pineapple sidecars in no time flat.
-3 stars for Moderno's drab, decor and service, or lack thereof. 2 stars for my "ok" experiences previously with the bar.
