Spoken menu relies on the bartender to understand your preference and align the drink accordingly. Unfortunately our bartender did not seem to have a basic understanding of flavors, preparation or balance.
The first round of drinks missed the mark so we decided to try 1 more drink opposed to another round.
The third drink was worse than the first two (what about "spirit forward, like an old fashioned or manhattan, bourbon or scotch base, sweet opposed to bitter or smokey" makes you think to prepare a peach liquor drink with an absinthe spray?)
We sent it back and asked for a classic drink as a replacement "old fashioned, manhattan or espresso martini" That wasn't something she was willing to make so I tried to be more specific, "nothing smokey like mescal or bitter like a negroni ... something like a manhattan or old fashioned ... error on the side of sweet opposed to bitter or smokey ". The replacement drink (#4) was a cross between a sazarac and negroni. We gave up and asked for the bill.
Lesson - if your first round of drinks is not to the taste you described don't give the same bartender more changes. Ask a different bartender to make you a drink, or just go elsewhere.
