2/5 Red S. 5 months ago on Google
I
had
initially
given
Tonight
Josephine
a
glowing
5-star
review
after
my
first
visit,
but
my
second
experience
left
me
so
disappointed
that
I
doubt
I'll
be
returning
anytime
soon.
It's
a
real
shame
because
my
initial
visit
had
been
so
promising.
On
my
second
visit,
which
was
on
a
Tuesday
evening,
I
was
shocked
to
find
the
seating
in
a
rather
sorry
state.
All
the
seats
were
sticky,
and
some
had
tears.
It
was
not
particularly
busy,
with
only
three
other
people
at
the
bar,
so
there
really
was
no
excuse
for
the
poor
condition
of
the
seating.
We
attempted
to
place
an
order
at
the
bar,
but
were
promptly
told
to
take
a
seat.
Unfortunately,
that's
when
our
wait
began,
and
no
one
came
to
take
our
order
for
an
uncomfortably
long
time.
What
added
to
our
disappointment
were
the
two
females
working
that
night
who
appeared
to
have
quite
an
attitude.
This
was
a
stark
contrast
to
my
previous
visit,
where
the
staff
had
been
friendly
and
welcoming.
Their
behavior
only
exacerbated
our
dissatisfaction
with
the
overall
experience.
I
ordered
two
Cosmopolitans,
and
to
my
surprise,
they
were
excessively
bitter,
even
for
someone
who
typically
enjoys
bitter
drinks.
I
managed
to
finish
them,
but
it
wasn't
an
enjoyable
experience.
To
make
matters
worse,
as
we
prepared
to
leave
(before
9
pm),
my
partner
had
ordered
two
beers
but
only
managed
to
finish
one.
I
decided
to
take
the
unfinished
beer
with
me
for
the
train
journey,
as
is
often
permitted
in
similar
establishments.
To
our
surprise,
one
of
the
ladies,
who
had
been
largely
absent
throughout
the
evening,
suddenly
appeared
and
chased
us
up
the
stairs
to
inform
us
that
we
couldn't
take
the
beer
outside.
It
was
an
odd
and
untimely
display
of
attention
that
felt
like
an
unnecessary
final
straw
in
an
already
frustrating
night.
Overall,
my
second
visit
to
Tonight
Josephine
left
a
lot
to
be
desired.
The
condition
of
the
seating,
slow
service,
unfriendly
staff,
and
poorly
made
drinks
were
all
significant
disappointments.
To
top
it
off,
the
sudden
enforcement
of
rules
as
we
were
leaving
only
added
to
the
frustration.
I'll
be
exploring
other
options
for
my
future
outings,
as
there
are
better
places
around
that
offer
a
more
enjoyable
and
consistent
experience.
Note
that
there
is
a
forced
12%
tip
and
when
you
pay
they
ask
if
you
want
to
tip
again!?
