Restaurants Don't mention the eyeshadow

I had lunch today at the bar at Murphy's in Virginia-Highland. The bartender gave me the award for asking "the weirdest question anyone has ever asked me in my life." It seemed simple enough to me. Noticing her intense makeup, I asked her how long she had been wearing pink eye shadow. She got very agitated, and my friend had to explain to her that I wasn't insulting her.
Anyway, lunch was good. I had a burger with smoked bacon and Swiss cheese, and a side of too-salty avocado soup. My friend had a grilled salmon sandwich. We resisted the perfect strawberry shortcake.
Murphy's is especially pleasant on a mild day like today. I saw the owners of two popular restaurants dining on the patio together. If a Portuguese barbecue restaurant opens, don't say I didn't tip you off first. You'll have to figure out who they are yourself.

Cliff, i think this is one of the most unprofessional reviews i have ever read in my life. You are attacking someone on a personal level b/c of something you said that most women would probably find offensive....and then taking their photo and posting it on the internet. Grow up and get a life

Attacking? Geez, I thought she was funny and nice looking. If I offended her, I'm very sorry.
If you could kindly remove the unauthorized photo of me that would be fantastic. And cheers to Manning
This is a food review blog? You going around to restaurants and asking insulting questions to bartenders, snapping and publishing their picture with out asking? If a friend having to step in and tell someone that you aren't trying to be insulting doesn't raise a red flag to you about your behavior, then are you really the kind of person that should be objectively reviewing other people's service skills? This is truly pathetic.
wow, you obviously aren't too good with the ladies. you have to understand that calling someone out on the makeup is a terrible move. you leave that area alone,man. by the way, taking a photo of your bartender, and posting it, is not only strange, but probabably illegal. way to creep her out.
