I really want to like this place (and may have left a positive tip before) but I just received a lime in my Negroni, and the wifi is a problem.

I was excited about it then the guy just forgot my order and the guy at the register wasn’t even that nice about it (considering they were the ones communicating my order to each other) ... 😏
