Start by saying the food was very good. I ordered a bourbon I had not tried before. It was made with peete. I had it taken back, they were very gracious and wanted to get it right. My wife ordered martini 3 olives, no pimentos. Came with 2 olives & pimentos. As a party of two, they sat us near the raw bar. Bad location. Everything and everyone went by to the kitchen, the bathroom and whatever else was back there. Wait staff dropped dishes and broke right next to us. Luckily our waiter took the brunt of it. A customer came over looking for something and backed right into me while I was eating. A very large party came in immediately before us and the wait staff and bartenders were focused on them leaving the two of us feeling like we didn't matter. On the positive side, our waiter did recognize these issues and wanted to comp a desert to make up for it. We were full and unable to accept. We'll try one more time to see if service and environment is any better and if this first visit was atypical.
