Ambiance is great at a place like Elk Room, but I can get similar, often better cocktails at other spots around the city for much less.

I even had a decent time at Choptank, but again, they’re charging a premium for something that I can get elsewhere for a lot cheaper and of equal, if not better quality.

I dunno. I don’t think they’re selling mediocrity, but they are certainly overcharging for what they offer.
