| - K i seriously don't understand ppl who give this place a bad review. Anything under 4 stars should be completely disregarded.
I've been here now only about once per month over the past year, but even on the worst nights' experiences it was still perfect. Let me explain why.
For those people complaining about slow service.. I have a few things to say about that.
1- last 5@7 we had here (Aug 2016) service was quite frankly terrible!! BUT (and this is a huge but!): the owner herself came and helped serve the tables explaining they had two students quit within the last week (because they were hired in jobs of their domains) and hadn't had a chance to replace them. So, completely understandable and pretty cool she came to help out on the floor (terrace).
2- Every other time I have come here service has been perfect, as I put it in my previous review: attentive but not annoying...so if you're getting bad service maybe u should re-evaluate what you're tipping.
3- on this particular visit tonight, our waitress Milkshake (no, that's not her real name, they were all wearing cute nick-name tags today), went out of her way to buy my colleague/friend shots (5 shots total) for her birthday which she refused to let me tip her for!!! (I literally chased her around the bar 3 times, both of us running lol, before she finally agreed that I could just tip her more on my next visit).
For those complaining of bad food...um ITS A BAR. Food is actually really decent for bar eats and has more than enough options for everyone. Especially try the homemade hummus, the aged cheddar, the Tuesday taco specials and the burritos...my personal favorites.
For those complaining of the lack of quality of drinks: a few of my colleagues on this particular visit ordered pitchers of sangria...one of the pitchers my colleagues found to be ouash (described as "pas de gout" and "watery") the waitress took it back without any hint of attitude, came back with a much better pitcher and to boot the owner came by to make sure we were satisfied with the change, which we were, and which was super awesome. My colleagues assume they must have accidentally forgot some ingredient(s) in the first pitcher.
And absolutely no one, obviously, complains about the set-up/decor because it really is a beautiful Verdun bar with a gorgeous terrace and beautiful interior!! Cozy and comfy, nuf said!
I love this place a lot, a lot, a lot and so do my friends and my colleagues and we will keep on coming back!
