| - My friends and I always come for the atmosphere and the drinks. It has been one of our 'go to places' for craft cocktails. Service, drinks, and an upscale atmosphere keeps us coming back.
Unfortunately, our last visit was so disappointing that we will consider whether or not it is worth returning.
We sat at the bar. Only ONE other patron at the bar was cashing out. Two Bartenders. Perhaps 12 other patrons were sitting at the tables.
The first bartender was making drinks. Although we were sitting within 3 feet of him, he ignored our presence... not even a welcome... or hello. After a short period, the other bartender came up, tossed a couple of bevnaps in front of us and asked 'what will it be?'. hmmmmm.
We ordered our two drinks which were served without comment. My drink was simple: Titos and grapefruit juice. The grapefruit juice was TART and had a slight 'fizzy' zing to it (a sign that the juice is turning). I tried to drink it, but it was BAD. I asked the other bartender to make me a martini (something safe). He fixed it without speaking to me. So weird. My friend finished his drink. Two bartenders walked by without noticing an empty glass. My friend pushed his glass towards the bar rail. We intentionally sat and observed if either bartender would acknowledge us. They both walked by several times, and seemingly ignored us. Remember, we were the ONLY TWO People at the bar.
I finally asked for the check, paid the $25 bill, left a small tip, and a note about us being disappointed. We left.
I would have given 1 star, but must say that our service on many previous visits was top notch. I can't, however, condone this level of rude service in a slow setting.
Many of my friends come to this bar. Some knew exactly who the bartenders were and have described the same 'non friendly atmosphere' provided by particularly ONE of the bartenders.
