| - I hate YELP so the fact I am leaving a review on this extortion based site says a lot but Valerie the bartender deserves it.
So yes YELP extorts business owners to keep the negative reviews from either showing up, and if the business owner doesn't pay YELP for monthly for marketing services positive ones never show. I wouldn't have posted this but too many good businesses get screwed because of their business practices. Now I would go into detail about this but this review is about Valerie not Yelp so Google "Yelp unfair filtering process" , "Yelp extortion" or better yet "Yelp loses in court" to find out more.
Okay now back to Valerie. I am leaving this review based solely on the staffing. The management here must have made a significant investment in the interior and the staffing because it seems slow when I come in, yet it's always chic and has more than ample servers to take care of the customer; that shows they care about the customer experience. Here's what impressed me about Valerie, no matter if you order a coke like I do or a beer, she gives you consistent service.
I am a former New Orleans Bourbon Street bartender and restaurant GM, with over 20 years of experience in the industry, and usually two-three refills is all you get if you sit at my bar, not because I want to give you bad service but I am thinking to myself, " Who really want five cokes in one sitting?" No, Valerie refills drinks like they are all Blue Moons! She is friendly, can strike up a conversation, and keeps your area clean.
Kudos to Val and the staff, even though Yelp sucks!
