| - The Libertine is in an excellent location on Stephen Avenue. Unfortunately, that seems to only be one of it's redeeming qualities.
I was here for a birthday party. It seemed that the birthday girl had reserved upstairs, and the restaurant had double booked it with a speed-dating group. So, the reservation had been moved downstairs. It seems no one had called the birthday girl to inform her of this change or issue.
I was on Designated Driver duty that night, so I can't comment on any of the cocktails. I will state though that in many places I have been, in identifying myself as a DD I usually get drinks for free. Not here. Don't get me wrong, I have no qualms about paying for pop or coffee, but I feel this should be stated for the sake of others that might come here with a group and be a DD.
I also ordered the bacon popcorn, which was a huge disappointment. For $5, I got a small bowl of popcorn with maybe 3 tiny bits of bacon in it.
The service was a bit lacking, but in their defense the place was packed right out. However, it being a Saturday night, they should have had some extra staff on hand.
After this experience, and after reading others on here that weren't at that party, it's highly unlikely that I will ever be back.
