Me and my girlfriend were trying to find a good place for drinks, albeit a bit early in the evening. The entrance is more like that of a restaurant and I immediately thought the place to be pretentious. We were the only ones there, it's a cocktail bar, and we have to wait to get seated. We stood outside of the "please wait to be seated" sign for only a brief moment before a waitress escorted us to a table.

We were only half way through our drinks by the time waitress told us we had to get going. We asked nicely if we please could finish our drinks first, but the waitress got very rude at that point telling us our time was up. The waitress even started spraying our table with cleaning spray while we were still sitting there! Even though they were the ones to serve us a drink knowing our time was up in 10 minutes. What a horrible experience. Ain’t...
