I agree with what's been tossed around here wholeheartedly:

I think my crappy time on V-Day was an isolated incident.

Honestly, if things hadn't been so good the first go-round, I probably wouldn't have been quite so disappointed- I just would've filed away that things weren't A+ material for the next time I'm looking to lay down some hefty bucks on dinner. And truly, the fact that management responded as they did as quickly as they did (regardless of the lack of follow-through) was impressive to me.

Law of averages tells me that TV's is most often a great experience at any locale, and I'll continue to rally behind 'em. After all- they're still keepin' it going as they have been for a long damn time, throwing in twists here and there that keep things interesting.

Tipsy: I agree with what yer saying as well- it ain't exactly the kinda place I'd be hitting up every weekend anyway. Drinks on a Wednesday during happy hour (if I can make it to the neighborhood), sure. But I'm not really running around Rush St. on a regular basis. Otherwise- special occasions.

Chicago's damn lucky to have what we do tiki-wise (the rest of the Midwest is a relative dead zone with a couple of exceptions) and I'm very glad to see TV's back in action, occasional stumbles or no. I've forgiven lesser places for bigger infractions.

I think I'll go back and hope for a repeat of my initial visit to the new locale- best 2 outta 3 ain't bad.

PS: I think the reason there were extra glasses was because the wait staff didn't seem to want to give them to anyone the night I was there. But I'm glad some of them got to the right people, and also kinda glad to see it's not an actual mug... That would've bummed me out to miss out on a one-shot TV mug.
