| - It's another one of those places that we wanted to try out. The cheap drinks and the huge selection of martinis tempted us for a long time. The first time we went to Eat My Martini, it was closed...the store hours said otherwise, but either way, the lounge was closed. We shrugged it off and went to another place. Last night, we went again, we were pretty paranoid that it might not be open again, but it was open. :D
The martinis were cheap, 5 of us went, we all ordered around 2 martinis each and a some fries. The martinis came in plastic martini glasses. We tried each others drinks and...well, it's really a hit-or-miss sort of thing. A couple of them were pretty good, one of them was way too sweet and the rest were just forced down our throats. The fries were too salty for some of us, but it was because they topped it with this spice. I thought it was yummy and was going to clean out that bowl of the last half a dozen fries or so after I finish talking to a friend. But before I can do so, the waitress already came and grabbed the bowl and the empty martini glasses and walked away. I was too confused to tell her I still want it (before she was already away from our table..which was 2 seconds after she grabbed the bowl) and honestly...I expected her to ask me whether I am done with it before fishing it away like that. :C
It is a small bar with TVs playing UFC, while the speakers blasted top 40s. It was really dimly-lit and there isn't much to say about the decor...because there really isn't any.
The way the venue was decorated or... the lack of decoration gave a feel of a simple bar. But the table tops had a candle-like thing so it was a classier/romantic-ish/girl's night out bar. But what about the UFC on the flat screen tvs? and the top 40s blasting out of the speakers too... This isn't a big deal at all, I just felt that not everything belonged there, so it was unsettling for me (personally.)
The martinis, whether it was a disappointment or not, were still cheap alcoholic drinks. Would not be a problem at all if there was a dance floor, 'cause I'd drink them just to get drunk enough to dance. But seeing that there isn't a dance floor, I would like to drink them to enjoy how well-made they are...which wasn't the case and the plastic glasses didn't help. And if I am to drink martinis with people, I'd probably want to talk to them too...seeing that we were not there to dance and neither were we watching a live bad or show; the music was too loud for talking, we had to raise our voices. So overall, I see no reason why anybody would come here as this lounge doesn't exactly target any purposes. If you want to dance or listen to loud music, a club would be a better idea. If you want to catch up with friends and have a drink or two, you should just go to a restaurant/bar for their martinis and their lower noise level.
