| - The bartenders are great. Friendly, capable, knowledgeable. For a place so small the selection is excellent.
The waitresses ... meh. The second time I visited it was a Saturday evening and my friends and I had to sit on the patio, which we were perfectly fine with, until the waitress came up. She watched us sit down and gave us no time to look at the options before trying to take our order. I had been there before so I knew what I wanted, my friend hadn't and wanted a minute to look over the whiskey selection. She refused to take my drink order because "she wanted to put them in together" and then walked away. She then came back less than 30 seconds later to ask if my friend was ready, he wasn't, and then walked away again before I could insist that I would please like my order put in. Then we waited over five minutes and she was nowhere to be seen. Nor did any of the other waitresses come anywhere near where we were to see if we had been taken care of. (I know they're all assigned tables, but to completely avoid going anywhere near that part of the patio was a bit much). When she finally deigned to come back over, we placed our order and got our drinks in fairly short order and then were completely ignored for the next hour. No "would you like anything else" or "how are you doing?" nothing. When she finally did come over to "see if we wanted anything", she made it VERY clear we were inconvenient to her. We decided to move on and she gave us our closed check that she magically already had at hand and refused to split it (had she bothered to give us a spare second when we placed our orders, we'd have asked her to split the bill then).
Word of advice, go in an off hour, go early, whatever, just make sure you can sit inside. If you're stuck on the patio, just move on.
