"This was my first visit to the Libertine, for a friend's birthday, and it wasn't especially favourable.\n\nThe positives:\n- we got served our first drinks fairly efficiently after sitting down\n- the ladies at the front were able to show us to our party\n- the drinks were awesome (especially the Sexy Devil)\n- the hot wings were really yummy\n\nThe negatives:\n- food was disappointing, other than the wings; e.g. no sort of dressing on the quinoa salad, the bacon popcorn wasn't as expected...\n- we were originally supposed to be seated upstairs (decided beforehand by the birthday girl & the venue) but another event was booked there instead\n- after initial drink order, service was very poor, including waiting to get bill for 20 minutes after most of our party had left for another establishment \n- one gentleman at our table didn't even get his meal\n- no refills on the water\n\nGranted, I know that a party of about 30 isn't easy to serve, but they knew we were coming in well in advance. I might be back, but only if someone I know really wants to go.\n\n(27/30)"^^ .
