DISCRIMINATION!!!! Worst restaurant service I've ever had the displeasure to experience. My partner and I walked in for an early dinner at 5 and decided to get some drinks and an appetizer to start with. The onion soup was like warm, tiny and flavorless. Now we're both minorities and look really young, so after already asking to see our ID's, the waiter comes back with the bartender/manager, and asks to see our ID's again. He didn't believe that those ID's we're ours, so he asked for the zip code. My ID is from NY and I haven't lived there for 3 years, so I struggled a bit to recite it, but I got it right. The manager insisted I got it wrong, turns out he wasn't looking at the zip code but the ID number instead, and he refused to serve me alcohol because of HIS stupid mistake. After we received the other drink, the manager proceeded to talk to the waiter about how "suspicious" we look, and how our ID's are fake, things like that for a solid 10 minutes. Mind you, we were the only guests in the restaurant, and the bar was 5 ft away from us, so we could hear everything he said. And the $17 "Blueberry Rita" we got was literally just a margarita with 4 blueberries plopped on top. I could've gotten a conned margarita for $5 and it would be indistinguishable. We ended up with a $31 bill for lukewarm flavorless soup and a mediocre drink. This was definitely a wasted of time and money and I'm never setting my foot back in there!
