    It was busy which we expected however when we were waiting at the bar for the bartender (who was so sweet) to make our martinis the manager came up and yelled at us for standing in the service area. There was literally no where to go and she was in the process of handing us our drinks. Then when we were seated the waiter spent more time in his Apple Watch then paying attention to our order which came out wrong and before asking us how to correct it made the exact wrong pizza again for us. Overall not a great night at Sally’s which we go to so much the bartender knows our drink order!
