"...the bartender made me a drink that is not on the menu. I think she called it a Hendrick's Special. It had Hendrick's gin, Pimm's, and muddled cucumber. I'm certain there was more to it, but I had been there awhile so my memory is a bit foggy. I do remember that it was DELICIOUS. Be sure to try it out during your next visit."

I was there last Tuesday with my wife and 5 friends from our marina, and I tried one ("You mean a Hendrick's Delight?" she asked). You're right, it was great, with quite an unexpected taste, for a cocktail..., very "fresh", in a cucumber-y way. BTW, she a muddled an orange slice, peel and all, too.
I was happy to notice that the dining room was very full, that night. I asked, and the bartendress said they had a party of 70.
The lounge was about a third full, too - better than when I met you, there. And the $3 Mai Tais still tasted fine.
I'm trying to get another group from the marina to go, on Tues., the 21st. We'll see...
