Should have walked
 

Went to an unnamed restaurant, when we saw they don not free pour -we should have walked had 3- 2 oz Grey Gooses in a martini glass come to $39.+ tip, the straw that broke the camels back , came when my wife asked for a side of sauteed onions, and was told no changes--
we bailed
@ $6.00/ oz x 59.+ oz in a 1.75 qtr bottle of Grey Goose, the bottle now has a value of $354.00--, where we were

IMHO using jiggers for drinks, insults the bartenders, insults the customers and really slows up the bar flow

Also another restaurant here sells Stoli Elite, with a good pour for $11.00

I'm a little confused. What exactly is the purpose of this thread?

If you're not going to name the restaurant, what's the point?

The point is there are only two restaurants in TV that don't free pour--if you sit @ the bar you know who they are--

Just gathering info for our upcoming Lifestyle visit. I certainly need to make sure that I don't go to a place that might insult me with a jigger.. :1rotfl:

If you drink beer, wine , mixed drinks, no problem--if you drink straight scotch, bourbon, good gin & vodka--their policy stinks

2 oz of liquid = 4 tablespoons--la tee da

:ohdear: Have you sat at "EVERY" bar in the Villages? :icon_wink:

Yes--Japanese steakhouses/sushi--that aren't known for pouring good drinks--put this place to shame

Grey Goose is not a great vodka--Chopin, Stoli Elite & Zubrowka blows it out of the water it was the best vodka @ the place we stopped in--its run of the mill. but they treat as extroadonaire--again attack the messenger, not the message--fools and their money are easily separated

The entire conversation could be more meaningful/beneficial if the establishments were named.
What is/was to be gained by not naming them?

It was the chophouse, didn't name it to appease my wife--do yourself a favor--if you have a martini glass in your house fill it with 4 tablespoons of water & ask yourself is this a good drink(volume wise) and say is it worth $12.00 ?

Wonder how the food was.

Didn't stay to eat--when they said my wife couldn't get sauteed onions for her entree--we left--spent $46.00 for 3 short drinks

That is an amazing story, they’ve just opened? Are there any rum drinkers around? Zacapa 23 is nice. We have it for “medicinal” purposes.

Give Reyka Vodka a try. Made from Icelandic glacier water.

We normally have a martini and wine & we put my wife's car in auto pilot--it will get us home hands off--
