This was an unprecedented nightmare of an evening. After waiting 45minutes, we had a table and ordered food and had drinks (it is BYO alcohol, and they mix it for you for a hefty charge). Everything turned sour after we politely asked about the $25 charge for the 3 glasses/drinks (remember we brought the alcohol, so you?re charged for the ice cubes, water, & the traces of lemon juice). We expected a $5 charge per glass, and this is why we inquired about the charge. \r

The waitress (the older lady) rudely responded, ?I did not charge you for the cork fee, you use the bar time?? This only aggravated the situation and the feeling of being cheated (if you think of it you bring your own alcohol, and overall you pay more per person than if you had a drink at a real bar). \r

Anyhow, as a result we left a small tip. Well, this is when the situation turned very bad. She threw the money we had given her on the table, and the old waitress told us that it is the LAW TO GIVE >10% TIPS, and DEMANDED that WE PAY MORE TIP EVEN THOUGH HER SERVICE AND RUDENESS WAS UNACCEPTABLE. When attempted to leave the restaurant, she told us ?you are NOT leaving without paying more tips? and she physically blocked & locked the door detaining us in the restaurant and called the police (uncertain if this was a tactic to intimidate us)! I told her, that I am a regular customer and usually generous with tips, but this time the customer service was terrible and did not deserve a tip. Then, she told us that we were BANNED from this restaurant. After ~10 minutes, she finally conceded to let us go and physically pushed my friend out of the restaurant!! \r
So beware!\r
Pros: not anymore!
Cons: Bully & call the police if do not leave tip due to poor serv
