I gave Bar 145 another chance after three years, and they disappointed me. We ordered a glass of Pinot Grigio, the Flirtini martini, and the pretzel bites with "cheese fondue". Every item was disappointing.
The Pinot Grigio was ice cold - undrinkable for the first 5 minutes. My cocktail was supposed to have a champagne float...no bubbly to be found. And the pretzel bites were sliced frozen pretzel with a side cheez-whiz. I'm sorry, cheez-whiz is NOT a substitute for fondue.
I feel bad for the server, because Lauren was great. But when you have to tell your tables that "the kitchen is running behind" at 8:30 on a Monday and it's empty inside, there are problems that need to be addressed. Despite the attractive patio space, I won't be coming back.
