I ordered a Manhattan. The bartender said, "I'm out of Vermouth. Do you want me to make it with extra bitters?"

No. No, I do not.

They had no dry vermouth either. Nor, according to the table next to me, any red wine. At all.

Wait.

WAIT. I just spotted a bottle of Cinzano on the bar DIRECTLY BEHIND the bartender.

Cinzano is a vermouth, just in case you were curious.
Also, the menu listing that says: Buffalo Cauliflower "wings" is not, in fact, vegetarian.

Now, you might think that quotes mean that they have used cauliflower to substitute as "wings" but you would be incorrect.

They are chicken wings with "buffalo cauliflower dipping sauce."
I'm now having French Fries with the Garlic Parmesan dipping sauce which is, as far as I can tell, caesar salad dressing.

Here's the question. Do I try ordering another cocktail now that we've identified the vermouth?
No. Run RUN!!! Narrowly win so I've decamped to @NerdvanaFrisco

The Manhattan was correct. The food was quite good and in comparison to my previous experience, AMAZING.
