| - Had a great experience here last night. I came in with my boyfriend and we were immediately seated at the bar. We shared the tartar, reuben sandwich, and korean friend chicken. All three were great but the reuben stood out to me the most, and I'm typically not a fan of reubens. Taylor was behind the bar and did a great job as I lead my boyfriend on a bit of a classic cocktail tasting. Though we had mostly classic cocktails, Taylor made them perfectly each time and wasn't offended when my guy asked for more angostura because he's just weird like that. I was excited when I saw St Germain on their shelf and Taylor obliged when I asked if he could slip a little into a glass of Cava for me.
The bartender also came over and apologized to us. Someone had sat next to us shortly after we had arrived, ordered food right before we had, and had eaten and paid his bill before our snacks arrived. The bartender was honest and told us he had gotten busy and had forgotten to punch in our food, but that he would ask to have it rushed for us. I work in the front of house and my boyfriend in the back of house, so of course we understood completely. We were in no hurry and it was not an issue at all, and we had our food in a matter of minutes after that. I was really happy that Taylor had been upfront and honest and apologized. They comped the first two plates that we had ordered. I would have been happy paying for them because he was honest about it and we were not upset, but felt taken care of when he informed us as he dropped the bill.
Also, the live music was top notch. All in all a great evening with funky cocktails and awesome bites, I'll definitely make an effort to head downtown to enjoy this little spot more often.
