False Idol

Little Italy, San DiegoNot recommended

Roger rated this 2 stars, saying he's always been a fan of C&H's bars and restaurants around town but felt they dropped the ball here, describing standing at the bar while other guests were served first and going unacknowledged even after a menu was brought over.

      “I've always been a fan of C&H's bars and restaurants around town, but they really dropped the ball on this one.... Stood there and waited forever while 3 others just walked up and placed their drink order. Obviously the bartender knew we were there, he brought out a menu for us and 10 mins later we didn't get acknowledged....”

      Roger, normally a fan of C&H's bars and restaurants, said they dropped the ball here: he stood waiting a long time while three other people walked up and ordered first, and after a menu was brought over, he still went unacknowledged 10 minutes later.

      A Little Italy pizza-and-cocktails hall where Roger found the pizza cooked just right and the whiskey drinks on point, but the salad too salty.
