I'm nothing if not a fair yelper so here's a fair update, and I'm increasing my rating. I recently went back to Upstage (per my last review I was true to my word and I'll be darned if they are getting a dime in drinks or food from me) for burlesque. I had out of town guests visiting and that's what they wanted to do. While the service at the bar was still very slow as far as I could see, they did have several new servers on staff. While my tattooed nemesis seems to still be there and still not give an eff about patrons (female patrons I should say) there were several good additions to the service staff. I'm encouraged. I still won't lift my no eat/no drink ban, but the service appears to be getting addressed with the new additions. The older lady acting as hostess was AOK. She came to check in with us several times. I am encouraged that notes are getting taken. Good job!
