14.\n\n14 is precisely how many international text messages I have sent about their reverse walnut manhattan. The kicker? It wasn't my drink. I had ONE sip of another person's beverage and felt it deserved the $20 in international text charges it has now accrued.\n\nIt's a damn fine cocktail.\n\nNow i'm not going to beat around the bush - I didn't try the food, I didn't stay longer than one drink and I didn't pay much attention to the place as a whole, beyond my delicious, delicious cocktail. But if exorbitant cell phone charges aren't worth a five star, well then, the world has gone crazy. I DID however, note the very funky ceiling and impeccable chalk penmanship of their menus - i'm a dork like that.\n\nHigh fives and shimmy hugs to Nathan (which i'm hoping is the correct name... there had been a few cocktails previous to this one). Lucky for us, we happened to be sitting next to this fine gent, who not only works at the place but is the wizard of all off menu ordering. If he's any indication of the rest of the staff, get ready Bar Kohl - i'm moving in. He was so personable and so knowledgable that it was an absolutely delightful stop in on our rather mischievous Saturday.\n\nI'm also intrigued by the group cocktails, which sound yummy and occasionally seem to arrive in tea pots. Anything that makes drinking a whimsical occasion deserves bonus points in my book, though i'm not i'd be a good sharer.\n\nThe one and only drink I had was a flip on a manhattan. I could not tell you the name, as it was suggested by Nathan and after knowing him for all of 45 seconds, there was inherent trust. Good thing too, cause it was delightful and boozy - just as it should be.  But the real beauty of the night was the tiny sip I had from my new buddy's glass - the reverse walnut manhattan. Flip the usual bourbon/vermouth ratios on ear, make that vermouth walnut infused (... i think) and watch while Canadians wax poetic over it for days...\n\nAnd sure, it was a little pricer then other cocktails we would take on that night but i'm willing to spend a little more when it's something i'm excited about.\n\nNeedless to say, i'll be back and I'll try more, I promise. Maybe even look up a bit too  - but not until i've had a walnut of my very own.
