| - My boyfriend and I tried the chocolate bar today for the first time. We sat at the very end of the bar (service bar) where the servers pick up their drinks, and waited for at least 5 to 8 minutes before we were acknowledged by one of the two bartenders. The bar is not very long, and probably only seats about a dozen people. The place wasn't very busy, yet neither of the bartenders even gave us the courtesy of a "hello" or "Hi! I'll be right with you in just a moment." It was like we were invisible as they walked past us repeatedly, eyes down. Throughout our stay I had a beer, a salad and a sandwich. My boyfriend had two martinis. Throughout the ordering process, I initiated every interaction. I ordered the salad with no cheese or bacon. The salad took so ridiculously long to come out, I actually bet my boyfriend $5 that it was probably going to come out wrong, based on the low quality of service. I actually lost the bet, and my $5, but the food exceeded my expectations. I would definitely eat there again, but maybe not at the bar. There were lots of servers standing around with no tables who would have been happy to wait on us, I'm sure. I would fire my bartenders if they ignored patrons the way we were ignored today.
