Horrible experience and extremely rude service! I had loved coming to this bar when it was on Northgate and was excited to try out the new location. I WILL NEVER COME BACK TO THIS PLACE AGAIN! My family made a dinner reservation and was seated next to a very obnoxious (and very loud) table of people. My sister pleaded with our waitress to move us, who rudely refused and told us “they weren’t THAT loud” and rolled her eyes at her. Meanwhile, several F-bombs & other swear words were yelled over from the other table. She then took everyone’s drink order except mine (the 8-month pregnant woman that wanted a larger glass of water than the one provided). The other table continued to get louder and more obnoxious, so my sister got up to ask our waitress one more time if we could be moved, to which the waitress ignored her. We decided to leave at this point. My husband had gone to the restroom and as he was leaving, he heard our waitress telling the obnoxious table that we had left because they were being too loud but that she didn’t think they were and that they were fine. This was an extremely upsetting experience and I hope this helps someone else to avoid such a...
Read moreUmm, I mean, I don’t even know where to begin. Real talk. Melco is about as top shelf as the specialty Japanese whiskey glistening from above. He was handling a rush of about fifteen people, solo, and still found the time to not only make one of the best quality cocktails I’ve had in some time, but did so with the best attitude and swift attention to detail.
And once the rush died down a bit, he circled back and took his time to chop it up with us (clientele) and give us some real good knowledge on the drinks they had available (talked us into—willingly—a couple more cocktails) and man, just had some really great insight into the cocktail culture in the town, but also, that he and his team conjure up in this here establishment.
It was no doubt, a beautifully balanced cocktail. Top tier stuff. The Bonvoy is lucky to have a dude like him, and they’d be fools not to keep him around, cuz he’s got the sauce.
Bravo...
Read moreI really enjoy this place the only reason it's not getting 5 stars or better is because the food can be a little inconsistent.
Summary: The staff has consistently been great, the food is occasionally just average, the cocktails have always been great.
The food is usually great, mostly seafood dishes but changes with the seasons. I've been here a lot and had most of the dishes more than once and rarely they seem to have a drop in quality but it does happen. So while you're almost certainly going to have a great dish there's the off chance that it's just going to be an average meal.
If you enjoy cocktails or mocktails the bartenders are top notch and consistently make solid drinks. I realize this isn't everyone's cup of tea, but if you stop in here make sure to get a cocktail. The bartenders are also great at suggesting something if you're not overly versed...
