I've taken out of town guests here frequently because I know the service and food are great, however I recently had an experience that has turned me off completely---and it wasn't even within the establishment. I was at my usual watering hole one block over when four chefs from LaCroix came in for a few hours to enjoy some beers and citywides one night. When given the bill, one chef began screaming at the bartender that he'd been overcharged and throwing a complete tantrum. The other three were silent while the bartender changed the bill even though the chef was clearly wrong {and being a jerk to boot} and told him the next time he'd have to "Pay as you go" because of the scene he caused. It was just ridiculous and I can't believe someone who works in a restaurant tried to pull that. It really soured my feelings towards LaCroix and I'm not sure I can go back.
