| - Oh, Dot Dot Dot, how I wanted to love you. I had extremely high hopes for this joint considering the ownership, but it unfortunately didn't live up to the hype. For example, it is billed as a speakeasy/classy cocktail parlor, but the noise level inside is more comparable to a college bar during power hour. Additionally, the ownership and the staff apparently don't like to follow, nor enforce their own rules. Not only did the ownership and staff coddle the wannabe "big shots" to the left and right of me and my wife, but they also allowed them to scream the entire time. Classy...I think not.
Now, there were a few positives during our visit. My wife and I both enjoyed the cocktails and food that we chose. For instance, I had the Truffle Sour and it was spot on! We loved the Octopus with the Chorizo and Chimichurri! Also, the decor was beautifully done, and it definitely gave off an upscale vibe.
All in all, I give this establishment 2.5 stars out of 5. I do plan on giving them another chance in the future, so hopefully they are able to turn things around before then. In the meantime, I'm going to have to reminisce about my heavenly experience at both Bourbon & Branch and Wilson & Wilson out in SF.
