| - Went to MBar with some friends who were friends of the musicians playing that night. For starters, the music was phenomenal.
The atmosphere was classy for sure. Being a resort bar, it's exactly what I'd expect - a pretty large space that has numerous smaller spaces which makes it feel more intimate than it truly is. I don't mind that, but the "couches" we were on were basically cheap cushions tossed onto a glossy wooden bench because they continuously slid all over the place. That aside, the place looked good and had a cool vibe at the time.
Our server was wonderful. She was quite attentive and had some wonderful recommendations for putting together a charcuterie board. Though, this is where I'm a little miffed about pricing. Understanding that I'm at an upscale resort, I know that that prices will be high. However, it was the portions that got me here. $6 for 3 rather small cheese slices. $2 per slice. I understand cheese, especially high quality cheese like this, isn't cheap, but for $6, I think at least 4 small slices is fair, and also splits much more easily for couples sharing a board, I think. Meh.
Price/portion griping aside, the board had all the right accouterments - an apple compote, toasted almonds, toasted bread, and olives. It was very nicely put together. I highly recommend the mahon on whatever board you are constructing.
Will definitely be headed back there for a lovely date night soon.
