We're locals trying to check out new places. The vallet was $55 unless you spent $75. No problem. The drinks were bad, service was bad. At $15 a drink I expect an excellent cocktail. Am I wrong? They weren't good. It was like drinking juice. I don't think the bartender had ever made a drink before. She had to look up every recipe. No love was put in to her creations. She had a hard time taking orders and listening. She never refilled our waters. We reached across the bar to do so ourselves. We ordered oysters and it came with a small bottle of Tabasco. Not any of the Wasabi, etc, as the menu description proclaimed. We had to wait a long time to even receive our check. She made an error and had a third round of our drinks made and said they would be complimentary. We refused because we didn't want anymore iced syrup. Another bartender ended up making the drinks and they were much better than the two she had made for us. The bad review isn't about the money we had to spend. Not at all. The place was very nice. Poor, expensive drinks and terrible service landed you guys this one. Your other patrons nearby also complained of the service and weak drinks. Consider hiring staff with experience, especially if you're charging $15 for not even a full martini glass of watered down juice. If this woman was a new hire, perhaps have her memorize and make the drinks before serving them to your patrons. We could tell her coworkers were also very frustrated with her. Just so I'm not totally nagging on the server, I'm sure she was trying. She was overwhelmed. I actually felt bad for her. Perhaps offer more training before throwing her into a busy Friday night during the holiday season.
