Sat at the bar for dinner, twice in our 4 day trip. Never had to bother with a reservation for 2 cause you are allowed wait around until a seat opens up. So basically you wait only 15 min. for 2 seats since most at the bar are waiting for their reservations.
The chicken/watercress dish was very good, I chose it for both dinners. The Lolla Rosa salad was really nice and different. Their slingback, bellini and lemon drop were all very good and I was never cheated on the amount of liquor. I actually watched them pour drinks for least 4 hours and I don't know how it is even possible to have one with "barely any liquor" as some have previously stated. Anyway, will be back our next trip!
P.s. Agree with other comments on the hostess stand. The 3 standing up there were kind of blank faced or trying to ignore when I asked them if we could wait around bar while something opened up. They almost seemed to not care to answer. Definitely not polite.
