ZigZag
Thursday, March 16, 2006
Apparently the Zig Zag has a following for their cocktails, however I'm not sure I know what all the hype is all about. On a recent post-work mini happy hour we headed there before dinner. First of all, they have a limited selection of appetizers. I understand the idea of specializing and doing it well, however the list wasn't too appealing to go along with drinks. Most of the "appetizers" were glorified antipasti platters, which is fine, but if thats not what you are in the mood for then it really doesn't work. I started off the evening with a ketel one and tonic, good simple, clean & refreshing. However after seeing the bartender make what appeared to be a stellar mojito, I decided to order one. It took almost 20 minutes for it to arrive and the bar was empty except for one other table beside us, obviously not swamped. When it arrived, It was good, but really not worth 20 minutes. Then when the bill arrived, my 20 minute mojito cost $9. I'm sorry but a drink better be pretty strong for nine bucks. Don't get me wrong, it was good, but not worth the wait or the amount.
