A few weeks ago my husband and I had the honor of being invited to the Bravern’s newest addition, Blue Martini, for a VIP opening party (on a Wednesday no less). It seems that my following the Bravern via e-mail, Twitter, and shopping there has really paid off! Anyways, here’s how the night played out:
- Arrive and there’s a line. People are dressed in cocktail attire as well (as the invite requests) which is a pleasant surprise. They even require the invite to get in, how classy!
- Get into Blue Martini, which is pretty crowded, but we score a pretty nice table near the main window.
- Check out the menu and see tons of delicious martinis, but oh how pricey, $14 and up! We decide to share one and keep our wallets from crying.
- Nice waitress comes over and alerts us that all martinis are free (which is what we were hoping for all along).
- Commence drinking many (too many) delicious martinis. I recommend the mango one.
- Order food (margarita flatbread).
- Drink more martinis.
- Wait another 90+ min and still no food.
- Head over to Wild Ginger to finally get dinner and make a fool of myself by laughing at literally anything….really….anything.
- Wonderful (and sober) husband drives us home. In bed by 9 pm.
All in all, Blue Martini had wonderful drinks, but never getting our food was a huge let down. The kitchen should have been better staffed for such a large party. Also for the future, I likely won’t be attending any more weekday night martini shindigs unless I have the next day off.
PS: My husband still wants his margarita flatbread.
