| - I am all about second chances, and this is exactly what I did with this place: Giving it a second chance. I have been there a couple of times just because I happened to be going to the container park for various events. The service really bothers me there. Bartender is not exactly the friendliest or caring. Bartenders are at the forefront of your restaurant. They are supposed to be friendly and accommodating. She is far from that and makes you feel like you bother her. Yet, I decided to look past that.
Last time we were there, I brought in a group of people, ordered drinks and then sat at tables inside. Be mindful of the following facts:
- The bar/restaurant is inside a container = Small space, limited room to move around
- The purpose of the business is to serve food and drinks to as many customers as possible in order to remain open and generate revenue
Obviously, confined space and lots of customers poses a challenge and should be something that the owners of the place would have to learn to deal with, right?
Nope! My group was rudely reprimanded for talking to each other across tables by who I assume is the manager or/and co-owner. Even though, we were considerate enough to make sure that she could walk by, she got aggravated and threatened us that she would have to force us to move to other seats.
I get it, she needs room to move around, but diplomacy should be in order when you're dealing with a larger group that spent good money on overpriced, low quality and very undersized poured drinks and wines ($10 to $14 for wine, $3 for water, for example). It simply resulted in a change of plan and my whole group moved on to friendlier pastures.
I am very respectful of people and was taught to be polite, always say thank you and again, be considerate of others. Something that is not standard practice at bin 702.
