We used to be fans and just living close sometimes just having cheese and dessert at the bar. Most bartenders are fun and appreciate the little extra fun we provide as well as being decent tippers.
Got here today to an empty bar and looked around - relatively empty dinning room and were told only chocolate at the bar. No you can't have a table and we won't feed you at the bar. Even the new bartender was cavalier about it.
When June rolls around and you are begging for locals, count us out. What would it hurt to feed us a cheese pot.
