Went back tonight and had a better overall experience, although some of the drinks still seemed off to me. Perhaps my palette has changed over time but the Jet Pilot I got was nearly undrinkable. I got about a third of the way through it and had to stop and order something else, a 151 Swizzle, which was really good, but not as great as it was the night before. I don't understand how there could be such inconsistency on something that should be an exact science. Chelsea had a Black magic which was good followed by a Special Reserve Daiquiri that we agreed was the best overall mixed drink of everything we had. All the flavors blended perfectly together. The service was much better this time (we sat at the bar) and although the same singer was there butchering songs I already hate, it seemed easier to ignore this time. I'd be curious to know if they've brought new bartenders in lately or maybe my senses are just off.
