| - This review is based solely on my experience at the bar, not the restaurant...
I showed up around 10:15 PM on a Thursday night, about 45 minutes before closing so the hostess asked if I wanted to sit at the table for one in the bar area or if I wanted to sit at the bar. Since I don't drink, I opted to sit at the table. I looked the menu over and wasn't sure what I wanted.
Elijah, the bartender, noticed I was sitting there and came up to ask if I wanted anything to drink so I asked for a virgin piña colada. He went to make my drink and came back a few minutes later. I totally forgot to tell him I dislike whip cream so I asked if he could just scoop it out for me, which he said "I'll just make you a new one." I told him it wasn't necessary, but he did it any way. He told me that it would be better if I moved to the bar so I did...
I told him I wasn't too hungry so he recommended that I just order an appetizer. He said the applewood bacon wrap shrimp was a good choice and he was not wrong. It was very good!
But I like varieties, and who doesn't, so I decided to order the beef tenderloin quesadilla as well; however, this appetizer was a bit of a let down because it was dry and not really what I had in mind taste-wise. I took a few bites and he noticed that I didn't look too impressed so he asked if he could take it off my bill. I told him I was fine paying for it since it was my own choice to order it. He kept insisting on taking it off my bill, but finally after I said "no" multiple times, he just paid for my drink. Which was very sweet of him.
I appreciate great service even when the food doesn't always live up to my expectations. He asked me to come back on Sunday night because he was off on Friday & Saturday, so he can make it up to me for the quesadilla not living up to my expectations. I told him it wasn't like he was the chef so he doesn't have to make anything up to me. Lol
But I did return on Sunday night at around 11 PM, after I had finished having my late night dinner at a nearby Thai restaurant. He asked me what I wanted to drink and I told him to make me anything that has zero alcohol. He made me some kind of mixed drink which I asked him what the name was. He said it didn't have a real name because he just made it for me so we jokingly called it a "Sivilay". Lol
Even though I'm not a drinker nor do I ever frequent a bar, I would come back here just because of the wonderful service...and order a "Sivilay" just because I feel so special to have my own drink. Hahaha
The minus 1 star is based solely on the quesadilla being a let down...nothing personal Elijah!
