WORST SERVICE EVER!!! My friend and I want for their $5 martini mondays and we'll NEVER return. Although we didn't have any food, we did have some martinis. At first we requested a few fruitish martinis but he didn't seem to have any ingredients nor a list. So we each went with a dirty martini; one gin with 5 olives and one vodka with the regular 3 olives. After waiting a good 5 minutes (there were 2 other people at the bar and 12 total in the entire place) for them, the bartender who was also the owner asked my friend to try hers and she asked for more olive juice. He then came with my martini which tasted like an ounce of vodka with about 2 ounces of water and no olive juice but he never came back with her request of a sidecar of olive juice. She went to go ask him for more and he said, word for word, "Listen these are $5 martini's. When you start asking for things like more olive juice, and 5 olives, it's just ridiculous". More olive juice, what? it's not like we were asking for more alcohol or even juice. What ever olive brine is left from the bucket gets thrown out, there isn't even any extra cost to him. He later came by to try and give her a sidecar but it was too late. She had already heard him making fun of her to other customers on the way to the bathroom. I may sound whiny but we've both worked in the restaurant industry for a number of years and I've never seen an owner act like this especially when it's a new place. Humphrey's on Bank is garbage...don't go EVER!!!
Fun
