I happened to be sitting at the bar at the time of this whole altercation was taking place and i heard that blonde waitress as well as some of the bartenders explain the Johnny Blue special to a couple people and they all said the same thing,"$10.00 An Oz." And the only reason i remember this is because i was considering having a glass myself because the deal is unbeatable. And as far as the conversation goes with the owner,I,myself have had a few conversations with them and they never have said anything like that about anyone,espically a customer so i'm not quite sure why people feel as though they have to jump on the internet and try and bash a company as well as a waitress who did her job exactly how she was suppose to. Just doesnt make any sense Todd, ur right.

Drinks are normally 2 oz and if you eat out and drink like you say you do, you would know this. Best price per oz of Blue on the web is 6.50 so how in the world would you misunderstand what the waitress explained to you? Why would a bar offer Blue that costs six times as much to you for a dollar more then Black? That just doesn't make any sense. Don't even try and say that she explained it to you wrong, she explained it to me the same way and I totally understood what she was offering. Again, I did not hear the conversation you had with the owner, nor was around when you passed her to hear her call you anything. However, it sounds like you were trying to get Blue for a deal and pull one over on a young waitress!

When our bill came we had a question about oneof the charges. Now we had spend 160.00 and are not shy about spending our money but it appeared that we had been over charged for one of the items on the bill that was on "Special". We asked the waitress to check this out.She disapperared and the woman owner came over to our table, told us her young girl waitress was crying in the bathroom and how could we have not understood what the charge was. She then proceeded to loudly scold us for not understanding the price and rudely asking us if we ever ate out anywhere and and she would not shut up. I said just bring us the bill as we wanted to get out of there but she said no, she had to understand this,and she went on and on.Now this was a $20. discrepance on a $160.00 bill. She told us she spent a quarter of a million dollars renewating the building, why that was relavant i don't know. Anyway , she walked away, called us dirtbags and the husband brought back the bill with the $20 removed! On the way out, we passed her and she called us another name. Too bad she did not take a customer service course as part of her quarter million spend. Hi , OMG i just had the most awful experience there.

Yes, there were a <em>few </em>vegetarian friendly options, but I was a little bit disappointed that there weren't more. With so many people trying to at least eat <em>less </em>meat these days, I'm surprised more restaurants aren't offering more vegetarian or vegan options. Hi Jack!
