| - I have been here a few times in the past and had a great time. But this time my experience was so-so.
We came to enjoy the happy hour specials, but I didn't know you could only get those sitting in the bar area. We were seated at a table, but I unfortunately asked to move as we came here for those specials. I felt bad, but our waiter was very nice and understanding. If only he was our waiter at the bar, too.
The guy manning the bar must have been trying to leave, because he didn't acknowledge us for at least five minutes. He kept counting his drawer and didn't bother to look up or tell us it would been just a second until he could help us. After he finished counting the drawer, he disappeared for another couple minutes and we were still without a drink. Finally after about ten minutes, we got a beer and ordered some nachos.
Great deal on the nachos! Huge serving with all fresh ingredients. I wish it would have been served with salsa, but we didn't expect such a huge portion for only six bucks so I can't complain too much. The draft beers all seemed a little watery. Not bad, but lacking a little flavor. I ordered a mixed drink after that, which was as expected.
After our initial encounter with the ninja bartender, we had good service. The two guys who came to take over for the night were very friendly and seemed to have a few regulars, so they must be doing something right.. And they were attentive.
Overall, a decent experience. Food was good, and I like the happy hour specials. I also work in the service industry. So I know what it's like to want to get out of there when your shift is up, but sometimes you just need to grin and bear it and take on another customer or two. Or at least acknowledge people sitting at the bar or in your area ... They do, after all, pay your bills ..
