Firstly the menu is over loaded with too many options, secondly the atmosphere was filled with overwhelmed bartenders, probably as a result of having to create sk many different kinds of drinks from such a menu.
First time I went into the establishment was a Monday night shortly after they had opened. My cocktail was room temperature, it was apparent the bartender didn't chill the glass, but also it appears they didn't add ice prior to shaking the cans. Also during this first visit there seemed to be some sort of "conversation" between foh and boh employees that got louder than necessary. Anywho, thought I'd give it another chance.
2nd time visiting was this past Friday, way busier than my first visit. Ordered the same drink, other drinks and a few apps. The drink was prepared chilled this time around but not nearly as well executed as previously
The company I had with me had ice chips floating around in their martini, not as cool as it sounds. In the stuffed olive sampler, only 1 or 2 seemed to.be freshly prepared. Many, we both agreed, weren't of the best quality ingredients. 2 varieties specifically were difficult for us to swallow down or even decipher what they had been stuffed with.
When it came to checking out the bill was very much skewed. The bartender who had been providing us service wasn't there to give us the bill but was fully aware of the errors on the tab but didn't mention anything to get them fixed prior to us wanting to pay. At the time of payment we were only given a receipt because I had asked for it so we could "split" the tab on our own accord, only after paying and asking for the receipt could i see and inquire about the errors present on the tab. Whoops?
Lastly and probably the most painstaking part of this experience was my 2nd cocktail of the evening. Not only did it take nearly 15 minutes for me to place the request, the drink wasn't nearly as well executed as it could've been. The bar was busy when we arrived but at this time there were a handful of bartenders and other staff "not busy" at all, so to wait 15 minutes to ask or even be asked if we needed another cocktail when there's empty glasses in front of us, is not something we were fond of. What made it worse, the whiskey sour was built in the glass with sour mix, you mean to tell me you have 20+ variations of martinis AND 20+ variations of classic cocktails on your on your menu but can't make a proper whiskey sour?
The crabragoon were decent and statistically speaking they must have some good "on menu" martinis and cocktails.
ultimately they just need more time to "dial in", unfortunately I do not see myself returning for...

Just wanted to hop on and write about my experience tonight at the stuffed olive. Our server was Sarah and she was not a good server nor pleasant at all. When we first walked in all we heard was her walk by where we had just sat and say āF**kā. Needless to say we did not get waters or our order taken for 20 minutes, note that 2 other tables who got there AFTER us had already gotten orders taken and drinks out. After we finally got our drink order in, the drinks sat at the bar for 15 minutes all finished until she finally brought them over to us. When we asked how much longer on our charcuterie board (after 30 minutes) she rudely said āthey take a whileā and would not even acknowledge us as actual humans. Once we finally got our food it was missing a main dip of the plate that we never even got to try. We ended up asking to talk to a manager- Dane and he was very nice. Overall I would give our experience a 5/10 we loved the drinks and wanted to order another round but our server was just awful and rude. Coming from a server myself I felt it is always important to provide the best experience possible for your guests.
Note: she treated other tables with respect and check on them. We did not get check on once. It took 30 minutes for us to even get a glass of water. Would not recommend...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreWe tried out this place last week. We ordered one martini and a standard mixed drink. It took about 20 minutes to get our drinks. They sat at the end of the bar for about 15 minutes before the server grabbed them and brought them over.
We were enjoying our drinks and the overall feel of the place until a manager and a server started fighting at the end of the bar. Which happened to be right next to our table.
After about 5 minutes of heated conversation they started getting louder and louder. After almost a full 10 minutes arguing about the server not making any money and the manager wanting more closing tasks completed, I finally had to interject and ask them to stop fighting.
It was very uncomfortable and put a damper on our experience there.
We finished our first drink and tried to just pay and leave. However, as we were paying our check the manager tried to come to apologize. He sat down next to me in the booth and got awkwardly close. After his dirty looks for being called out for the fighting, it just made it more unpleasant. I likely would not return...
