| - Lots of raves about the entertainment and ambiance here. No doubt all deserved. But I have to give this place 1 star, and that excludes all that.
I went here one evening shortly before a show started. I walked to the bar, with my wife in tow, and stood there....for about 10 minutes. Other parties came and went, and the obviously busy bar-tenders attention swiveled between service calls and new arrivals, typically young women coming up to order...but they apparently never noticed us standing quietly directly in the center of the bar waiting to order.
Now this is a hard rule with me. Ignore me, intentionally or not, fail to greet me and ask me if I want anything, within some reasonably decent time, and that place is forever off the 'go there' list. We turned and left without a word, adding this otherwise interesting venue forever on the 'waste of time' list, along with a very small group of other places that fail to notice human beings standing four feet from them as if they weren't even there. Trendy and 'cool' and 'hipster' do not begin to cover unconscionably rude and insulting, and pretentious comes more to mind under the circumstances. If you are too busy to serve would be patrons, you're heading for trouble.
