What wasn’t normal was the glass came with some kind of waxy material inside the glass with the bourbon. We were charged for ICE! This was not specialty ice, this was water/coke/ice tea ice. These two drinks were not part of the happy hour menu, and we understood this. In our second round, I ordered a Welcome to the Jungle and my partner ordered a Count Offaly. He got the happy hour price - I did not. Both are on the happy hour menu.

I love hearing that the food and service was good but obviously there’s more to the experience than that. Especially at happy hour. I will follow up with the team from last night to understand why the pricing would have been off. We do have an extra charge for “rocks” but the charge is for the extra .5 ounce pour that would go in a “rocks” pour versus a regular pour. I will also follow up with training on that to make sure it’s being relayed to the guest.

I ordered the Conblucius and she ordered the Tequila Mockingbird.\n\nWe ordered vegetarian eggrolls, pork soup dumplings, the dry fried green beans and the Two-Faced Crispy Noodles with chicken and beef.
