So if any of my usual readers remember, I wrote a post about how The Ram makes the weakest drinks, I was mistaken; that honor now belongs to the Tap House Grill. I had the honor of tasting the weakest selection of drinks of all time there last night at my friend Thina's birthday dinner (Happy Birthday Thina! Personal shout out on my blog!). My AMF (yes, I do order that everywhere I go) tasted like 'blue Powerade' according to Joe and Kat that night. Maybe they made it so superbly that it had more alcohol than it tasted, but I severely doubt it.
Last night, I decided to eat a very small amount (I split a spinach and artichoke dip appetizer with a friend) so that I could save money on drinks and get affected much faster. They weren't very good at serving large parties (there were at least 25 people there with us), because as a group, we waited at least 30 minutes to get a table, even with a reservation, they wouldn't let us play on the billiard tables while we waited, and I'm sure I gave my order at least 3-4 times when we actually did sit down. And even when I did get my appetizer, it was already cold, the cheese was burnt and in one giant piece over my very soggy and cold spinach and artichoke.
I did snag a piece of rib and some jambalaya from someone else's plate before I left, and I firmly regretted not ordering an entree earlier; I obviously wasn't going to get tipsy from ordering drinks at Tap House, and a nice delicious meal would have negated that fact. Next time I'll know not to waste my money on drinks there and actually get a meal next time. Since it is the 'Tap House,' maybe next time I'll try one of their numerous beers. I'll update you guys next time I actually try some real food there. Everyone seemed a little upset at the service, but we got through the meal okay and barely made it to the War Room before they stopped admitting people on the VIP list, then I had some real drinks. Thanks to Joe for the Tokyo Ice Tea, that definitely made up for my horrible AMF, and probably then some.
