I had high expectations for this spot, as downtown Plymouth really needs more variety. My husband and I have always been drawn to the speakeasy, lounge vibe, so we have been anxiously awaiting our chance to come here. I will say, they executed the aesthetic, but the service left us frustrated and uncomfortable.
Note: I am fully aware that many places are short staffed due to COVID, however, many of our grievances are unrelated to such issue.
Our party of 4 made reservations one week prior. When making the reservation, the hostess specifically asked where we'd like to be seated. She also gave her recommendation of a table that had cool, high backed red velvet chairs. We accepted.
When we arrived at the restaurant, they sat us at a four top table next to the bar. When we explained that we had reserved the red chair table, the hostess told us it was reserved for a party of six. Confused, we asked for other available options. We were told that we would have to leave our second choice table by 9 PM for the reservation coming in at that time.
We sat down at this table, and the entire table top was sticky, still had drink rings, and was not set up for new guests. It was early enough in the evening and not yet busy, which made it odd. We waited for about five minutes to be served, but in the meantime, another employee at the front of the house switched our tables so that we ended up at the original table our reservation stated.
After all of this confusion, we were left feeling very uncomfortable, like we were a problem. If we could not be accommodated to our specifications, then why did the hostess last week ask for our seating preference? The remainder of the evening could be chocked up to being short staffed, as the service was very very slow, and the waitress was not very friendly with our table.
Overall, aside from the service and reservation inconsistencies, the drinks are very overpriced for what you receive. The cocktails are made with 90% ice, as pictured, and tasted very syrupy.
I really do hope they make some improvements, as it would be really nice to have a loungey, after-hours esque bar in DTP.
