| - Here's my story for this place.
First off, let me preface by saying that I'm a sucker for excellent customer service; I usually notice every tiny detail of a business transaction/experience and subsequently dissect every layer of it, Larry David style.
I came here unexpectedly one night after having been kicked in the face by a stage diver at a concert. I wanted a drink. I got a pint of weizen beer and my partner in crime got a mixed drink. The mixed drink was delicious and so was the beer. While I was chatting with my partner in crime, the bartender came up to us and asked us if we were interested in another. I said, "I'd like another, but only after I finish the rest of this one." (My glass was still about a quarter full)
A little while later, something magical happened. The moment I finished my drink, the bartender brought both me and my partner in crime fresh new drinks. We hadn't even seen him prepare them. Then I realized that he had waited for me to finish that last drop so that he could bring them out. As he handed them to us he said, "The timing seemed about right." A tear gathered at the corner of my eye but I didn't dare betray my true feelings. "The timing was perfect," I replied.
Anyway, while it might not seem like a big thing, this bartender was just great. Very laid-back, clever, and an awesome bartender overall. I can definitely appreciate that, and it's what first sold me on Reservoir.
The layout is quite nice as well, and the bathroom is more than suitable for cleaning one's face after having been kicked by a stage diver. It was just what I needed at the time, and I'm sure it will be what I need again.
