We had the same issue. We love Rob Roy's, that is our go to drink when we go out to eat at a "restaurant"as opposed to a pub. We ordered the scotch with one drop of dry vermouth stirred not shaken. I didn't see the bartender pour the scotch but I saw that she was holding a double shot glass when she picked up the vermouth and filled the small side 1/2 oz with vermouth. That is a far cry from a drop or 2. She started to shake the drink which killed us but we just smiled. When she delivered it we commented on the amount of vermouth and the fact that she was shaking it...( we both tended bar part time for over 30 years each and we know that shaking a drink adds volume...if I wanted a watered down drink I would order it on the rock) she told us that this was the way that they told her to make them. We kind of felt bad for her as she was just following the rules, so the lesson learned at Bluefin is if we want to enjoy their food it will be a beer or a glass of wine. We can go to Ricciardi 's enjoy a great drink and then go to Bluefin for dinner...
