The following exchange took place at Kokomo's in December, the weekend right before Christmas. Me and fellow Yelper Ingrid R wanted cocktails while waiting for our boyfriends to finish up at the Sportsbook. We came upon Kokomo's which had a lovely bar area smack dab in the middle of the lobby and front entrance = a prime spot for people watching. We grabbed a table in the bar area and perused the drink menu. Since I already knew which specialty cocktail I wanted, I went and ordered at the bar:
Me: "Hi, I'd like a French Kiss."
Bartender: "The real thing or the drink?" (as he flashed me a pearly white smile)
Me: (right then and there I busted up laughing) "The drink, just the drink!"
Bartender: "Just making sure." (as he flashed me a pearly white smile)
Sadly Kokomo's at the Mirage has closed to make way for a new Tom Colicchio restaurant. However, my first (and last) memory at Kokomo's will always make me giggle.
