| - Blue Martini is somewhere I go only if I am invited. I went Wednesday night, and I was not surprised.
My friend and I walked in, and I showed the lady at the front my VIP card, and in we went... we walked in, and the place was PACKED. It's ladies night, what do we expect right? Well, we found a table right in the middle of the place and settled in. We had to sit at two chairs right at the end of the table just so that we could hear over the band. It was so loud we were yelling into each others ears!
We then proceeded to sit at said table for 15-20 minutes without even being acknowledged. There were three different servers working this particular section, and not once did any of them stop at our table. My friend proceeded to get up and go find a manager. She was escorted back to the table, and told "sorry, I'll find someone" and never came back. 10 minutes later we were greeted by a server that not only informed us that her "friends" were on break, but that tonight was her very first night working there. Let the eye rolling begin.
We checked in on Facebook, where it indicated that were entitled to a free martini. Our server of course had no idea what we were talking about, and told us to go all the way back out the front to ask the girl at the hostess stand. We went one at a time to get our tickets for fear of loosing our table.
We both ordered the "blue" martinis, and my friend ordered the pepper chicken. The food was excellent. The drinks were brought out rather quickly, and the night started to pick up.
After a while, as my friend was starting to not hold her liquor so well, I asked for the check. With our free drinks, we were only having to pay for food. Well, the bill came, and the "ladies night" 50% off was no where to be found. I asked another server who happened to walk by about it, and she apologized, and said she would take care of it. After a few minutes, another server came back with the check, and very rudely told me that food is not 50% off, only drinks. I advised I have been to this bar numerous times, and we always get 50% off of the entire bill. She basically proceeded to call me a liar, and walked away. I tried to ask if maybe they changed their policy, and she didn't even hear me.
After I paid the $21 for 4 pieces of chicken and a chocolate cake, I grabbed my friend and went next door to Ranch House instead....
