The place is a tourist trap-short & simple

Reminds me of when I was in my early 20s I tended bar in an upscale restaurant. As a martini drinker back then I knew what made a good one. I purchased an empty perfume atomizer and loaded it with dry vermouth, I then simply sprayed a squirt into the glass before pouring in the gin or vodka. I got many compliments on the martinis I made until the owner found out and threw away the atomizer. Shame to ruin a martini with
½ ounce of vermouth. YUCK!
