I wanted to love this place. The decor and location are great, places like this on Eastern are a nice addition. We came in for drinks and dinner. Understanding that the bar will have a lot of smoke surrounding it, we assumed we could eat in the back room or any location to enjoy our meal smoke-free.
I sat down in the back room and was told it was for "VIP" only and we needed to sit at tables near the bar. If our server would have had any idea about any of the food or drinks on the menu, I may have passed on writing a review, but here I am.
The manager (or bartender) was friendly and courteous, but our server who took a very long time to even greet us, considering we were the ONLY ones seated, is in the wrong business.
