I'm a neighborhood local - don't go to Izzy Rose.
I've been here a lot and it's always been fine until recently. We started a mom night out group in the neighborhood and we went there and had a horrible incident with one of the bartenders, Michael.
He was very rude from the very beginning for no reason. I was sitting at the bar and I took a picture of the menu (to send to someone) and he said I couldn't do that, the table was drenched in water so I switched seats and he didn't like that either, the menus were also completely drenched, but I didn't say absolutely anything about it, or the table, or the picture, I just let it slide.
But later on, when I payed for my drinks at the bar and didn't leave him a tip he got hysterical right away, very angry and started yelling, saying I had to leave and that I wasn't allowed to go there anymore, and that he didn't get payed if he didn't get tips (which I'm sure is not true), among other rude things.
Shocked, I went outside with my friends to finish the drink I just payed for. He comes by the table later and thanks my friends for coming but singles me out, literally screaming, "except you! you are not allowed back here ever! you are on the list already!" (what does that even mean?), he was getting very agressive, angrier and yelling more loudly every time, saying to me "you've embarrassed yourself in front of your friends! you can't come back here anymore! your'e not welcome!", etc, he was extremely rude, disrespectful and very scary.
The whole experience was terrifying! We're just a group of harmless moms friends talking about potty training, just wanting to have a nice time. Although I'm glad this happened on the first night the mom group goes to Izzy Rose, so we don't come back ever again. We were all shaken by the experience and of course won't be back, they not only lost 6 families of local customers that night but all the Thursday mom nights we had planned on having there, are now forever moved to another business.
I want to make clear that the other servers had nothing to do with this - it's just Michael, the other bartender is always perfectly pleasant, decent and nice.
