| - My wife and I went to this place on a Friday night based on Yelp reviews and were severely disappointed. We were prepared for it to be too loud and overpriced, but we thought in exchange we would get well made cocktails. How wrong we were.
First, my wife had to explain to the bartender how to make a brandy alexander. Then when I asked the bartender what types of bourbon they had (because I wanted a manhattan), she had to check. I watched her go over to the bar, pull out a bottle and ask another bartender if it was in fact bourbon. She then came over and told me that all they had was Jim Beam. Either this large bar had an awful bourbon selection or our bartender had no idea what she was looking for. Either way, that's no good.
When we actually got our drinks, they tasted alright. The only problem was that our martini glasses were not fully chilled, half full and my wife's Brandy Alexander was missing nutmeg after she told the bartender all the ingredients. This is may sound like a lot to ask for, but I expect full service at ten dollars a drink.
So in review: loud, overpriced, undersized, understocked and staffed by unskilled bartenders. Do not go if you're looking for a good cocktail.
