Server was extremely rude & barely checked on us during our stay. When my friend asked for the bill & before he could tap his card, the waitress took note of the tip %, sat down at the table with us, & pressured my friend into giving a larger tip, which he did. Except her service was not deserving of any tip at all...

Terrible experience. we walked in with friends & the hostess was so rude. We wanted to speak to a manager, & she pretended to go get him & told us he wasn't available. We left & came back & somehow the manager was still not available to speak to. When we asked for the managers name, the hostess refused to give it to us & rudely told us to move because she needed to serve the next customers.
We didn't even get the opportunity to have drinks. Just dealing with the hostess was a horrible experience.
& yes, we did have our ID's. The service was horrible. Why can't a manager greet their customers? Was it too much to ask for? Ridiculous.

Asked Nico to make me something based on what I usually like instead of ordering off the menu, & he completely understood the assignment 😛
One of the best cocktails I've had in a while. Super chill guy, great energy, & seriously talented behind the bar. If you stop by, ask for Nico! 🍸😉
