Nice place for a drink
Thursday, December 01, 2005
We recently took our family and friends to the View Lounge for a drink before we went to dinner. The views are great and we were able to find a table in front of the window. When we were there they did not have waitstaff for the tables so you had to order at the bar - no problem. However, we order 8 drinks from their specialty drink menu and both bartenders didn't seem to be familiar with any of them. Even though we ordered 3 of the same type of drink, all 3 were different, one came as a martini type drink, another as a cocktail, and so forth. One of the bartenders seem to give my Dad some attitude when he told him that it didn't seem like the right drink. I ended up taking 2 of the drinks back for replacement. By the time we had a second round, a waitress was just starting to serve the tables. We ordered the same drinks as before and she said that the bartenders were confused - again. Although we eventually got the correct drink, the bartenders' knowledge of their drink menu is zilch.
