I was in Cleveland on business and was staying across the street from "Brewsters". I sat in the bar area...it seemed as though it was an effort for the bartender ( with a bad sun parlor burn) to come over to the table. I ordered a Kettle One up, which is my favorite. When I tasted it I was very surprised to have the overpowereing taste of a "dirty" martini. When I asked the bartender about it, and if she kept the blue cheese olives in olive juice she confirmed that they did. From that point I was treated as though I didn't know what I was talking about...she seemed very defensive and insecure.
I ordered a kind of large ravioli with lobster and lobster sauce..very yummy! It also came with some steak tips. They were a little chewy, and way too many. The Chef delivered my food to the table, and asked if I wanted some steak sauce, and I answered "no thanks". He retorted that of course I wouldn't want to ruin the steak with anything but the seasoning...and he was right....but I got the feeling that the bartender had spoken to him about the martini thing.
I left the bartender a very good tip, because everybody has a bad day. But, in retrospect ( having once been a bartender) she didn't make me feel very welcome.
I go to Cleveland from time to time, but I don't think I'll be returning to Brewsters.
