Awful, don't go

by LisaChristine

We each paid a three dollar cover to get in for salsa and approached to bar to order drinks - and get some water. The bartender REFUSED TO SERVE WATER. Trattoria will NOT GIVE YOU WATER. They will try, instead, to SELL you bottled Boulder Water which, incidentally, is just bottled tap water out of Golden.

The money-grubbing nature of this astounds me. I also think it's morally unsupportable to serve alcohol and refuse water, not to mention the environmental impact of requiring people to buy bottled water in a bar/ restaurant. We had people in our party who had recently flown in from sea level, some on long haul flights out of Europe. Dehydration is a bad thing, and I also can't believe the bartender wouldn't just stick a glass under the visible tap. I eventually asked for a glass of ice so we could wait for it to melt, and she slammed it down in front of me. Why not just stick the glass under the visible water tap?

Nothing could inspire me to go to this awful place again.

• Pros: None.
• Cons: Refuses to serve water, rude service

A dining experience we'd like to forget

Not good. Appetizer and entree were dismal. The service was even worse... perhaps, our worst experience ever. We hate to admit it, but it was bad.

Go Elsewhere

Small portions are fine when the food is great, the ingredients are fresh, and the taste is impressive. That was not the case here; the portions were small but did not pack much taste, imagination, or flavor. The presentation was not impressive either. Overpriced food.

• Pros: Wine. Dessert.
• Cons: Food
