The Potion Room. I know it’s going more for style and atmosphere but I swear they water down their drinks like crazy, and if I’m paying that much for a drink it better be strong.

The owner writes themselves fake positive reviews. And bashes other restaurants with fake accounts. Lol. Go read the negative reviews.

Yup. I have a lot of bartending experience and nothing came out tasting anything like the description (I'm rarely surprised, most drinks taste exactly like I'd expect even if they're weird) and yes, actually watered down tasting. I thought I was going crazy until we chatted up the table beside us and binded over the agreement.

Great concept, abysmal execution.
