| - I'm a huge fan of Town Square but frequently find myself at the same few places (Yardhouse, Whole Foods haha!) so I was pretty excited to try a new place. I met a friend for drinks and loved the extensive and creative cocktail bible (it was huge) that I was presented with. My one complaint (that I have with most places) is the reaction I get to my request for modifications. I do not like drinks that are super sweet and am perfectly satisfied with the sugar that is found in the fruit that comes in cocktails. I ordered the 'Repo Man' - tequila, sour, agave nectar ('healthy' simple syrup), ginger syrup and muddled strawberries, apples and lemons. That's a WHOLE lotta sweet in one 8 oz glass. When I asked the bartender to keep the agave nectar out she flat out wouldn't do it, insisting I wouldn't like it. No, I'm pretty sure I know what muddled fruit and tequila will taste like, thank you. She instead cut the amount in half and SHOCKER it was still far too sweet for me. For my second drink, I went with the 'Nutty Mojito' - coconut vodka, coconut cream, muddled lime, mint and soda. It was decent, definitely better than my cup o' sugar I had previously. My friend had 2 glasses of Shiraz that were pretty fantastic so I ended up rounding my night out with a glass as well. Overall, the vibe of the place and the decor is comfortable and I'm sure I'll go back. But bartenders - Us drinkers KNOW what we like..TRUST US! Especially when I'm paying $10-$13 for it!
