my review is a little mixed but i will say from the top, i will go back again.
was staying nearby and got a hankerin fer sum meat! saw a decently rated steak place so i gave it a try. the decor is great, very intimate, i sat at the bar as i was by myself. the steak was great, although a little bit more well done than i wanted, but that can be chalked up to terminology. they did screw up with missing a starter that i ordered, but they bent over backwards to ensure i was happy.
what i really need to talk about was the bartender... i cant recall his name, i think he is italian although i am not sure... the way this guy mixed drinks was awesome. i wanted a dirty martini... it takes 20 seconds to make right? not for this guy... he treated it with the care and reverence a chemist puts into a possible cancer cure. every move was theatrical and deliberate. in all honesty, the flourishes and steps he had reminded me of Rowan Atkinsons character in Love Actually.
i will go back for the food, but will sit at the bar just to watch him make the drinks! read more
