Lique Miami Waterfront Restaurant and Lounge

Beautiful restaurant, great music and vibe. Food was great my friends and I ordered the shrimp, fried calamari, Caesar salad and octupus. I will say I was very disappointed by the customer service of this place. From the moment we walked in the man in the front didn’t want to seat us because he said it was too late for a table. We asked to sit at the bar and he also told us no, however the hostess was very sweet and took us to sit at the bar anyway. We sat at the bar and ordered drinks with the bartender named Dylan. Drinks were okay but he came off very rude and almost like he didn’t want to be there. We asked him if we could order food and he told us no…which was weird because my friends and I have all worked in the industry and have served food bar side before so we questioned the hostess if we could order food and she said yes. We told Dylan AGAIN that we would like to order food and he denied us AGAIN saying that he works at the other bar and they don’t take food orders. So, we asked a server named Oleh if we could order food at the bar he GLADLY said WHY NOT?! Oleh gave us top tier service and was extremely welcoming and polite! He informed us he would create a separate food tab for us so the bartender, Dylan, wouldn’t have to add it to the bar tab. Anyway, I’m sure after that Dylan felt stupid as he should have because we ate in front of his face and he cleaned the plates as he should have. Just letting you know the customer service at this restaurant isn’t the best…honestly killed the mood of the night and I won’t ever be going back because of that. I’ve never been refused service before and I’m sure if the owner heard we were trying to spend money on food and we’re denied he’d be upset. So Dylan learn how to be a better bartender ok?
