A group of friends and I went out for happy hour cocktails. It was very busy so we forgave the lengthy wait and brusque attitude when we were finally acknowledged. When our drinks did arrive most were incorrect. When I had asked to have my drink re-mixed the server argued with me saying that it was correct. I had to explain that I shouldn't taste citrus or see citrus pulp floating in a dry gin martini with an olive (My guess was that the bartender in her haste had not rinsed the shaker after the previous cocktail). My friend had ordered one of their signature cocktails which was completely wrong, she asked for a plain house martini. When the bill arrived she had been charged for the more expensive drink. When we brought this error to the server's attention she snidely commented that there was only a 50 cent difference. Unfortunately for her this comment resulted in a huge difference in her tip. Three of the five of us had worked through college in the industry and are known amongst our friends as huge tippers. This is the first time we've ever stiffed a server.
Pros: Close to downtown office buildings
Cons: Horrendous service
