I once again regrettably returned to The Gin Mill during lunch hours because Jake s Dilemma opens at 3pm during the week. By the way, Jake s Dilemma gives excellent, efficient service. But not The Gin Mill. One bartender in particular never smiles and moves back and forth behind the bar at negative speed of light. You re lucky if she acknowledges you with her drab, droopy face and complete lack of personality. And once again I walked out. I then went to Frank Mac s bar down the street. Exactly the opposite of The Gin Mill. Worthy of a Michelin Star. Mike was a true, over-the-top professional. One of the best bar experiences ever. Please do not pass this pub up when in the Upper West Side! And definitely pass up The Gin Mill. Come to Frank Mac s or Jake s Dilemma (when it s open).
