Me and my friend came in to participate in the drink and draw that was being hosted. We were both really excited to have an opportunity to socialize with other artists! We wore our best clothes and gathered all our pens and markers to share! ☺️ However, the second we got in, the person that greeted us was extremely rude. We were talking with a fellow artist outside and were asking them if they wanted to sit with us. The rude person got extremely irritated at that and started raising their voice. As to not cause problems, my friend and I opted to just say we were alone, hoping that maybe we'd be put close to the people we were hanging out with. The person made sure we were as far away from everyone as possible. :( My friend and I then just decided to focus on the drawing event instead. It went well, but as much as I appreciated the pen, papers and ideas provided by the restaurant, it wasn't hosted at all. I've been to many drink and draws and it's with a heavy heart that I have to say this wasn't a drink and draw, and more of a "everyone sits alone and draws in a bar". It seemed as though it was more about getting people to pay for a meal rather than to have an event. :/ Thankfully, the food was delightful and the portions were perfect! And other staff members stayed super polite and helpful! After drawing a bit with my friend, we didn't really want to stick any longer due to the way we had been treated and the isolated vibe of the event. We started slowly getting dressed and getting an Uber, when the rude person from before noticed and rushed us out of the door in a really sour and disrespectful manner. :( It seemed like the moment we had arrived, they REALLY wanted us gone. It sucks because my friend and I came in super excited to participate in the drink and draw and meet cool people and try good food, but instead, aside from the food tasting good, we were simply treated horribly. Whilst I'm sure that the drink and draw even can be easily improved upon, I more deeply wish that this establishment focuses on learning better customer service. It's okay to be frustrated by a customer, or to not like them on first sight, but to treat them the way we were treated isn't an acceptable way to solve an issue, especially since we weren't causing any issues at all and we're a bit at a loss as to why this member of staff was so upset and eager to get us out of the door. I definitely won't come back and won't recommend this place to anyone despite the great food, but I still hope that this restaurant improves and has a ton of success in the future. Good luck and take care!
