The fix is in.... I understand how they can charge $3.99 for a Wednesday night martini - add water to your vodka. Tonight I sat at the bar (seating is hard to come by on Wed), drank 5 martinis in a little more than an hour and didn't eat dinner. This was supposed to be a total of 10oz of vodka. On drinks 3 and 4 I asked that the juices be omitted and on drink 5 I asked for straight polar ice vodka (their vodka of choice). I had a bit of a buzz, but had I done the same at Pravda I would have had to use the railing to walk down the steep stairs to the street.
I would like to know if anyone else has had similar experiences. The straight vodka martini didn't really have much kick, nor did my belly get warm with alcoholic joy. So I'm fairly certain that dilution is occurring on Wednesday nights.
Be forewarned of dilution Wednesdays. I didn't eat there because I assume they use MSG in their food to fool people like their $3.99 martini list.
