I would have loved to give this place a great review...that is impossible. After shopping at Bridgeport and spending hundreds of dollars, my wife and I decided to drop into the Split and celebrate some awesome deals we found. What a mistake. First, I was a little surprised that the prices, even at happy hour, were a little steep (but the price of living in Lake O is always a bit higher than it should be) but I had walked by the place 10 times in the last 6 weeks so I thought, ""What the hell"". Huge mistake. After having a $10 martini and $10 Manhattan, my wife and I ordered a second. When my wife's phone rang, she inadvertently hit her glass and spilled half her drink with no bar napkin and, after cleaning up or own mess, I asked the bartender if he could see his way clear to topping off her drink (we were prepared to order food as well). He said that he would 'ask the boss', who happened to be sitting 2 seats down from us and had neither greeted us when we entered or said anything during our time there. There were no other customers in the restaurant at that time. The boss shook his head and said something to the effect that 'how was he going to send his kids to college if he accommodated us?"" I can tell you and him that it won't be from any potential return business that we might have offered or from, hopefully, you the reader.
