I’d love to write a review about this place … but I wasn’t there long enough to even order.
I was SO excited to try this place but upon walking in, one of the waiters (I believe he may have been the owner and will from now on be called goatee guy or GG) was in a heated conversation with my dad*. Goatee guy stormed off. Apparently, my dad’s drink tasted a little off and, when my dad told GG, GG was incredibly rude. No more than 30 second later, GG gets back to the table and offers up two bottles of Crown and two shot glasses and rudely tells my dad to try both and tell him which tastes wrong. Then he dares to say “mother f****r” not only to a customer, but in front of a young lady.
Sometimes customers are rude, I will give GG that. However, my father is one of the kindest, most mild mannered people I know and there is no way in the world that my dad would have ever acted crudely or used so little as a malediction toward GG. My dad kept his cool, we paid, and left. I just feel sorry for the waitress for losing our tip.
To Goatee Guy: If this somehow gets to you, I’d love to come in for a review; I’ve heard great things about your bar and I’m sure I would love it. However, I will not set foot in your bar again until you apologize for using such invective language toward a customer. Good work picking the wrong table to whom to be rude.
*yes, my dad is awesome and goes out for drinks with me!
My favorite thing about writing these reviews is that I get recommendations for places I never would have thought had a good happy hour. Case and point: McCormick and Schmick’s. My brilliant friend Matt told me about their killer happy hour specials and they really are incredible. Where else could you get an entire meal at a nice seafood restaurant including drinks for $22?
