The first time we went it was cool. And I wore a Hawaiian shirt and I looked at every inch of the decor from top to bottom. I was enchanted by the stories/hype from multiple publications and wanted to taste for myself what it was. The drinks were stiff. The bartender friendly and the hearth illuminated our multiple drinks. Life was good. Months later. The second time impromptu I wasn't wearing a Hawaiian shirt, it's a hot San Diego day with a non AC house to come back to and the crowd was a little stiff. This time the drinks tasted different and there were 3 candles lit in the hearth. The place feels trendy. Was it me?
