| - I was so disappointed. I read many reviews for this little lounge and was expecting something a little better than what I got. The initial experience was good, we were seated, 3 of us, promptly at a nice table close, but not too close to the pianist. The piano player was aces and that is why 2 stars and not one. Our cocktail waitress was unbelievably negligent, it was the holiday time I know but it was not that crowded here and she was so absolutely inattentive that I could hardly believe it. When we sat we were looking over the menu, then we ordered. My father's drink came out first and I was told that they were out of mine, an Armagnac, so I looked over the menu and she did not come back for 10 mins. I ordered again, a cognac, the waitress went away and then came back 10 mins later and said they were out of that too. I finally got a Scotch and was pleased except that I had asked for 1 cube of ice and it came neat, I imagine that she forgot after all of those trips and to be fair my father ordered his Woodford Reserve neat. So we were sitting in the bar, listening to the pianist and chatting and soon enough my drink was gone, but I was still thirsty. We could see our waitress in the back by the register just standing there looking out over the lounge. We tried to get her attention, another couple actually got up and brought her their glass so that they could have another drink. I had no intention of doing that myself and waited for her return. She came back about 30 mins later and asked how we were doing, by this time it had taken an hour to get and drink a single drink, and not a cheap drink, my bill was $38 for 2 whiskeys which is fine because they were excellent but I would expect better service for whiskeys that cost $18 each. I would like to say that I will be back and try again but I really doubt that I will.
