Positives:
- The Martinis!! There are so many to try and they are all delicious! You get a very generous amount of liquor and the quality is outstanding! I highly recommend their espresso martini!
- the atmosphere. It feels more upscale then most bars in Kent, and is never too crowded to enjoy yourself. The 8 dollar martinis keep the typical portage county "dollar beer" crowd out, so you can enjoy a business casual drink without all the screaming and buffoonery.
- The cleanliness. From the concrete counters to the linen tablecloths, to the restrooms, everything is very cleanly and well taken care of.
- The location and the patio. Right in the heart of downtown, and the patio is nice in the summer to have a cocktail and an appetizer outside.
The negatives:
- The food there isn't nearly as good as the drinks. They have a few good apps, but overall I like just sticking to the drinks.
- The bartender guys are not always on their game. Sometimes it seems like they are more concerned with doing their tasks and cleaning than they actually are concerned with tending bar. I have had a number of different times where my drink has been empty quite a while before I can flag one of them down, even when it's not that busy.
***UPDATE- the management took the feedback to heart and have drastically improved their food! Both the regular menu and bar menu are great! And the service has definitely improved! I have updated to 5 Star. This is absolutely a favorite in Kent.
