First time coming into 8oz and my experience here was absolutely terrible and let me tell you why.
When we got to the host stand we were guided to our table and before I was about to sit there was food on the chair. While standing there and staring at the food, the host did absolutely nothing to ask what's wrong. So I had to ask him to wipe down the chair. All he did was swipe it onto the floor with his hand and walked away. We sat at the end of the chair away from the food stain because we were waiting on him to come back and wipe it with a sanitized towel but he never came back and as I'm halfway into my meal we are still sitting on the edge of our seats.
As our server came to greet us we ordered 2 drinks on their menu, he checked our IDs and went away. BY THE WAY, There was no greeting what so ever. Not even a "Hello" or "how are you." Just straight into ordering.
He came back and told us he cannot make the drinks and we would have to wait a little bit for them to be made because the bartender was gone. So I asked to speak to the manager, hoping he can make them, who was also gone. It's ridiculous how they have a bar menu and bar seating with no one knowing how to make any of the menu drinks.
To make things simpler for us I asked to order a well cranberry vodka and how much that would cost. 5 minutes later he tells me it's $10. I said that's ridiculous and no thank you. He comes back to me a few minutes later and said "Nvm, it's $8." So when I finally agreed for it to be made, he immediately says he cannot make it because he doesn't even know if they have cranberry juice. Why did you waste 10minutes of my time figuring out the price when you knew I was never going to be able to order it?
Finally, I asked the shift leader if they have any cramberry juice. He says, "yes it's only for cocktails though. And cant be used in a mix with vodka." He also mentioned customers can't even purchase cranberry juice by itself. Anyway, If cranberry vodka is not a cocktail then I don't know why they even have cranberry juice in stock.
The manager finally came in at the end of the meal and he told me yes they can make cranberry vodkas and yes they sell cranberry juice separately... except they don't have any in stock. He ended up making us the original 2 drinks we ordered... at the end of our meal.
At least you tried... and the food tastes great.
The only reason I'm giving 2 stars instead of 1 is because they at least tried to make a drink and the manager apologized when he finally arrived at the end of our meal.
Tip to management: if you cant provide cocktails to your guests... then don't hand them a cocktail menu right when they are seated and it would have never been a problem.
