Great place, lousy bartender 6/13/2008

I stopped there on a recent Wednesday evening...I sat at the bar to eat & drink. The bar was only half full, but it took the bartender, a middle aged man, about 10 minutes to approach me for my first drink. He then did not return to me for the rest of the HOUR that I sat there, soon needing another drink. He was too busy socializing with patrons on the other side of the bar. While I was waiting, I saw two different employees go to the free happy hour buffet that was set up and took & ate food using their hands and did not use the tongs that were sitting by the buffet. During this time, I flagged down a waitress and ordered the lobster. The waitress was very nice and the food was good...the large tasty lobster came with bread, veggies and a baked potato. I could have used another beer to wash it all down, but it was not going to happen with the bartender on duty unless I got up or yelled for him. I finished my food, paid, and went to another bar for the drink I needed. I like this bar and its location and the food is very good so I'll likely go back, but they need to improve many aspects of their service. Pros: location, great food, fun atmosphere, Cons: poor service more
