I just wanted to say that i apologize for taking that review personally. I work extremely hard on my beverage program and do everything i can to keep the quality of my drinks to the highest level. The syrups that we are talking about are just flavored simple syrups made with fresh and dried herbs.
Simple syrup in necessary for seamless blending of flavors. I work very hard to make sure that my bartenders are not over sweeting the drinks. I guess the idea of using a "syrup" leaves one thinking that its being used to make a drink "sweet" but its really used to bring the main flavor profile together with a secondary flavor profile. Sometimes, a sharpness develops in the drink that the perfect amount of sweetness can fix. Every once and a while... egg whites are used to smooth out harsh flavors as well. There are many tricks in the arsenal of a great mixologist.
I have no doubt in my mind that you have been all over the world and have tasted hundreds of cocktails. Your opinion is a valid one from the perspective of the guest. You know what is good and what is bad when it comes to cocktails. I appreciate your opinion and review. If i had one request... it is for you to be my guest at ROOM and allow me to prepare for you... the finest martinis Atlanta has ever tasted.

Dear Steven/TheCocktailChef, You stated that I "have no idea what you talking about when it comes to my cocktails". That is absolutely true. I am not an expert on "your cocktails". I am however quite a picky connoisseur of “my cocktails” and of martinis in general, having consumed thousands of them over the decades [yes, I am dating myself here, and admitting to being a lush at times]. I will also say that I am not a fan of sweet cocktails and martinis and it seems that your concoction was meant to be a sweet one otherwise you would not be bothering with making your own herb syrups, therefore I might not be the most objective judge of your work.
I do think that my review was quite fair with you and your cocktails. I stated quite clearly that they were “as visually stunning as martinis can be”. I have no regrets for having one of your creations and I have no regrets for not being one of your biggest fans either.
Also, I wanted to state that I did not recommend that anyone use nasty cheap Vodka. I simply stated that a person can make a marvelous cucumber martini with fresh cucumber pulp and their favorite vodka or gin. When I said this, I did misspeak however. The cucumber creation that I am referring to was actually a Cucumber Cosmo that we had in New Orleans and not a Cucumber Martini.
Peace.

oh yeah.... the cucumber martini has a SALT rim not a SUGAR rim. Get it... salt on a cucumber. Makes more sense... doesn't it.
Please get i right if you are going to bash my cocktails.

My name is Steven Kowalczuk and I am the designer of the ROOM cocktails. I've read the review and i from my professional opinion... you have no idea what you talking about when it comes to my cocktails. Granted... we had just opened the restaurant and the bartenders were still learning. It is quite possible that they might have made the cucumber martini and the carrot martini a little too sweet.
As far as not using fresh ingredients... WRONG! We spend hours a day making garnishes, herb syrups, fresh veggie/fruit juices, and learning how to blend all the high quality ingredients perfectly.
When you speak of the cucumber martini being made with gin or vodka... you should first know that i won the Ketel One best Bartender competition 2005 with a vodka version of that drink... and i also won the Tanqueray Most Wanted Bartender in Atlanta 2005 with a gin version of the cucumber martini... so you should stop to think for a moment and realize that maybe... just maybe... i wanted to make it with such and exotic liqueur instead of the basic and common vodka or gin.
I am THE COCKTAIL CHEF... Atlanta's premier mixologist and if Atlantians want great cocktails, they know just where to look. www.roomattelve.com
