There's much they need to correct before we'd come back
Stopped by for drinks and a snack on a Friday night two weeks ago and our party was glad that we hadn't committed to dinner there.

The cocktails were uniformly weak and watery enough that one member of our trio suggested that we look for barnacles on the ice cubes. The (cold) Guinness from the tap was thin and flat, and to the venue's benefit quickly replaced with a different bottled selection when we commented on it.

We got as far as an appetizer before giving up. When our garlic chicken wings arrived, they were pale and had very little flavor. It turns out that all of the flavor was sitting in a sad little orange puddle on the waxed paper at the bottom of the basket.

After trying to use the runny accumulation of sauce as a dip, we finished off the celery and decided to head elsewhere.

I really hate to give any place a negative review, but both the bar and the kitchen seemed to go out of their way to earn it.    [06 Sep 2005 13:38:29]
