The server came to our table and sheepishly said "our manhattans are served up, in martini glasses". I hate martini glasses and I like my manhattans in a rocks glass, with rocks and a twist.
A quick conversation with the FOH manager convinced him that if his "mixologist" didn't have the skill to make a simple, classic drink served on ice at a paying customer's request, perhaps he'd hired the wrong guy. I was tending bar before the little puke was born. I got my drink, for twelve dollars. No wonder the wife doesn't take me out much.....
