| - First, let me just preface by saying I really like Strip. I've always like their food. I can't remember a bad food experience. After I write this review, I'll continue to go to Strip.
Let me get straight to my point for this review....the Moscow Mule beverage. I like this drink. It's a very unique and refreshing beverage to serve. But to my dismay last night, my Moscow Mule was not served in the traditional copper mug. It was served in a glass. Anybody who's probably ordered one might tell you, it's not a Moscow Mule unless it has the copper mug. I agree with that statement absolutely! So when the drink arrived at my table, my server politely told me that they aren't serving in copper mugs because restaurant patrons have stolen these mugs....that's shameful by the way. I was clearly disappointed, but still accepted the drink, but at the same time told him that they should make it clear to patrons that the drink wouldn't be served in the copper mug, or it should be taken off the menu. About 10 minutes later, I see another server walking by with a copper mug. At that time, I stopped her and asked how it was possible I received my drink in a glass, but another patron was getting their drink in a copper mug. I was told that it was up to the server because they've had so many thefts of the copper mugs. This was somewhat of a laughable moment and I proceeded to ask myself and then my wife, "Do I look like a guy that would take the copper mug?"
So for this reason, and to my annoyance, Strip is getting 2 stars. By the way, I would have gladly conveyed my experience to a manager, had one stopped by to ask how my dining experience was going. Word of recommendation, let people know about the Moscow Mule, sans copper mug, if they fit the profile, or put that minor footnote in your menu.
