It was the worst bar/restaurant experience I have ever had. The food was at best unimaginative and to be frank a lot of it tasted really horrible. <BR/><BR/>I was willing to "forgo" the food because of what I thought was going to be a wonderful "drink" experience. Well, it wasn't. The bartender was slow and incredibly condescending and pretentious. It was as if he was doing us a huge favor by serving us. I started by ordering a cucumber mojito. He said he could do it, and then served me something completely different that had Chartruese and no cucumbers at all. I then asked for a "dirty martini" and he said he couldn't do it... I'm sorry, that's a classic - how can a place that calls itself "drink" not be able to do that? Then we asked for the "scorpion bowl" and that was also pedestrian at best.<BR/><BR/>The consensus on the 7 people who were there with me was that we are not going back.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
