Normally Stonehouse is great and the food was excellent as usual. However, we had an Irish coffee that had too much whiskey and sent it back to request a different drink. And the bartender comes over abruptly asking who got the Irish whiskey and I respond it was me. She then proceeded to interrogate us and explain how Irish coffee was made and that unfortunately we'd have to be charged, otherwise they would suffer a loss. So we said alright and that was fine. We thought the exchange was over.

Then the bartender comes back with a new drink and insists that we try it and that it's important for her to learn because she wants to make us happy. By this point we were uncomfortable and my sister lets the bartender know, but she continues asking that I take a sip and let her know how it is. At this point I was ready to do whatever to make the bartender disappear and she'd pretty much ruined our family brunch, so I take a sip and say it's fine. And the bartender then looks displeased and says Ok well I can make do with fine. And finally leaves.

I've never had a bad service experience here before, but the aggressive bartender and repeated interruptions to our brunch with the bartender insisting I try the new drink and give feedback pretty much ruined this place for us.
