joethefoodie Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Was able to grab a seat at the bar last night, with no time limits, restrictions, access codes, etc. It was early, and the great thing is it took less than 15 minutes to get there on the subway! They shuck well...(though I don't know why there are 2 forks and 2 spoons in there). and seen in the upper left, the amazing Parker House rolls (don't fill up on them!). Followed by the wonderful fried chicken - big portion. I'd go back for sure. Place was slammed at around 8, or just when I like to leave. COMP DISCLOSURE: 2 extra oysters, wine pours. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Looking at my bill, I think I was also comped the Parker House rolls, which appear to be on the menu for $10. (Unless they automatically come with dinner?) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
small h Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 I don't remember getting them. Which doesn't mean we didn't - I had a lot to drink that night, and it was dark. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 They totally don't come with dinner. You totally have to pay $10 for them. (Unless the bartender comps you them.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The server invariably takes the pre-dinner drink order, brings the drinks, disappears for a while, and comes back to take the food order when the drinks are nearly finished. This isn't something I have to negotiate. It just happens. Somewhat related... Quote The service bar is one of the most congested and chaotic areas of any bar or restaurant, even when it’s well-organized and functioning smoothly. Servers crowd the area anxiously awaiting their drinks like brain-eating zombies. In sit-down restaurants, most diners expect to be served their first drink before they consider the menu, which means that any delays in the arrival of their drinks are a clusterfuck.
