| - Not bad but not exactly what I was hoping.
I dropped in at around 4 on a Friday. Maybe 30% capacity. The bar had most of that. I entered with no greeting. I walked around and found my own menu in a pile randomly in the middle of the restaurant. After looking at the menu and deciding what I wanted, I returned back to the bar to try to find someone to at least seat me. The bartender was helpful but I could tell that she was annoyed and I'm pretty sure it's because the server is always doing this. Just a guess. But after almost 20 years in the industry, it's easy to see. So, on to the food...
Obviously everyone is thinking the bacon is important in a place called "Bacon Bar." It isn't. I ordered the vodka bloody Mary and the first thing I tried was the stick of bacon wedged into the glass. Being a chef, I know this common mistake cooks make. They deep fry the bacon or cook it too much in the oven but I'm guessing deep fry because I know the taste and texture. Great for high volume but it really isn't necessary because the volume is not the high. The flavor is gone. Disappointed level 4. As for the taste of the drink itself, well, the olives were wilted, the celery was weak and the mix is probably store bought and not homemade like most premium bloody Mary makers do. Disappointed level raised to 5. The server finally took my order and I got a bacon burger. When it came, she asked if I wante mayo but corrected herself and said there's mayo already on it but there wasn't. Next common cook problem I noticed was the burger had lots of pieces of burnt food on it telling me they don't brush the grill like they are supposed to leaving all those pieces of burnt stuff on everything that goes on the grill and therefore killing more possible flavor. Disappointment level rising to 8. Next was the fries. I upgraded to garlic fries. I could tell that they were either double fried or the fryer temp was too high because of the texture. 3 major mistakes the cooks are making...fryer temp. Improper bacon cooking. Not cleaning the grill. Along with the shifty service, I don't think I'll be back until they get back on track. For $25, I could have gotten 5 great burgers from a fast food place.
Update : so, I got someone's attention and it doesn't sound like a fellow customer. It sounds like someone that works there. Check it out...because, he totally called me out with all of his stellar reasons...haha. Yup..this place should be closing soon.
