We booked a table for Valentines, I have in the cocktail business for 9 years and am aware of how highly acclaimed Callay is, my last visit was 5 years ago at the time of its winning best bar menu of the year. There is a lot to keep up with now, and the menu is broad and experimental, with much hope. The flavours were on point but I had to send my first drink back as it hadn't been double strained, I gave up thereafter being served short martini style drinks with ice shards floating at the surface for the rest of the evening. As I mentioned the competition of standards is high now in the cocktail world and a simple technical skill such as this should not be overlooked, especially after a customer complaint. Highly disappointing. However the table service we received was impeccable, highly knowledgeable and rightly embarrassed for the first pointing out of the error in the drink although there was no quality control thereafter. Should be better considering the bars rankings.
