"I go way back with The Monastery and remember the original that backed up against the canal in Arcadia.\n\ni went to the one at Falcon Field yesterday at 3 p.m. to meet a friend and was utterly shocked by the lousy service. When the customer has to greet the bartender (who just stood there with a vacant stare) then one has to wonder who is serving who.\n\nMy friend and I then went outside hoping for better service. There was no detectable service outside at all.\n\nSo I went back in and stood by the bar for about ten minutes. It was apparently a shift change where a plasticized, over-inked woman chit-chatted with the bartender about the customers who had not been acknowledged, much less served. \n\nMy credit card and I must have been invisible. So the both of us just walked away.\n\nForever."^^ . "2016-11-12T00:00:00"^^ . "0"^^ .
