I didn't know what to expect but had hoped that with a name like "garlic & shots" that maybe it was going to be fun and creative. The $5.00 off coupon stuck under the windshield wiper window was the deciding factor.
Hostess was overly enthusiastic about seating us.
Chairs look like banquet chairs that had a cover over them. Nicely done.
There's a lit, glass display case in the dining area that contains spent bottles of wine and champagne. I would suggest they dispose of those bottles and find some theme for tchotchkes and/or floral arrangements to display in the case to add a little more ambiance to the room.
Printed menu on a 8 1/2" x 11" paper included appetizers, salads (?), and three entrees. Another piece of paper was handed to us with todays specials -Fish & Chips and a Salmon entree.
Wine selection was okay.
Ordered a glass and had already begun to drink it when server asks if we would like to try some shots.
Wine with shots, no thank you.
No salt or pepper on any of the tables, but we were asked if we wanted it. How do we know if we haven't had a chance to taste our food?!
Was served a bullet of ketchup when requesting some for my fries.
Not all servers are knowledgeable about their products on the menus.
Our server picked up our coupon but didn't apply it to our bill. When I inquired about the discount he asked if we told the hostess.
Our transaction needed to be voided and rerun with the discount.
Music sounded like Muzak until live musician started performing in the bar. He played one song and then excused himself for a few so he could find the right balance (I forgot exactly what he said) for the room. He played a few bars and sang a few phrases of various songs and then I believe he resumed his set.
MIGHT give them another chance.
