It is unfortunate that I must give the restaurant one star because our food was good and we had an awesome bartender.  The hostess was very friendly also. \n\nThe bad part...\n\nI had a restaurant.com gift certificate, Not a COUPON, to use specifically for this restaurant. I've had a lot of problems and misunderstandings with restaurant.com this week so I specifically asked them if I could use my certificate for alcohol and they told me that this is one of the few that you can because they did not specify otherwise. There was nothing that stated that it could not be used for alcohol like my other ones. This was basically a gift card.\n\nNumerous employees got involved in our situation. One guy said no, then a girl said yes, the a rude girl said no...then the manager got involved.\n\nTo make a long story short...the manager refused to let us use the certificate for drinks. She said that it is NC law that alcohol can't be discounted...not really sure what that means. Restaurants and bar run specials all the time...is that not discounting alcohol? Again, I had a certificate not a coupon so there  was no discount involved. It was just a lame excuse that she made up. I was so pissed....almost ruined our evening.\n\nOur bartender was terrific, he needs to find a more reputable restaurant to work for.
