Whether you are reading this review in Ghent or Pine Bluff, grab your passport and head out to Barmini by Jose Andres; as this is a Negroni experience you are not going to want to miss!

This cozy spot is small, contemporary in a very comfortable way; and loads of fun. You’ll get great service; including a small “welcome cocktail”.

Sit at the bar to watch the full show.  The mixology is serious; with the bartender spending a solid five minutes mixing, dropping samples on the back of his hand from a silver pipette to test; and when perfection is achieved; going through the whole process again, stirring to get just the right temperature.  I have yet to see this degree of care given in any other bar; and the result follows the effort.

I ordered the featured Mescal Negroni, which is composed of mescal, cunard, aperol and yzaguirre vermouth.  The bartender gave me a sample of the vermouth; which I highly recommend.  The Mescal Negroni itself is quite interesting with a smokey deep flavor which is worth trying, although I admit I prefer the classic on an on-going basis.

This is a spot worth going out of your way to experience; but make reservations; it is small and popular.

Negronis do not match the general sophistication of the Waterlot Inn in Southampton

Negronis do not match the general sophistication of the Waterlot Inn in Southampton

Befuddlement factor: 2

Drink: 5
Price: $14.00

The Waterlot Inn is usually on the list of restaurants to be experienced by those seeking the elusive superior dining experience in Bermuda.   The room projects a quiet, almost too quiet, elegant feel.  Service is subdued, with experience and training obviously not being a hiring criteria, as we got the classic “negroni?” response from the waitperson.

The drink failed to match the ambiance of the room; a little light on the Campari; with the bartender obviously too exhausted to be able to muster a shake or stir.  After this visit you will be able to safely resume your search for an excellent Negroni in Bermuda.
