My first time to Marini's at KLCC
5:08 AM
About a while back ago somewhere in October, my friend Isabel and her friend Natalie wanted to go check Marini's out and she invited us to join them. On the way there I felt pretty excited as I've seen blog reviews about this place, and also the interior and atmosphere looked pretty nice in pictures.

The place is really nice and grand/modern looking, even on the outside. However there was one thing that kind of annoyed me. The moment we reached, there were bodyguards standing by the door and they checked some of our ICs again. I was really annoyed by that because I had to take out my purse to show them my IC in which I felt was a hassle.
They've already checked downstairs I don't understand why they had to check again. Another thing I was confused about was why are they checking ICs in the first place? Isn't this a bar? Even if they are strict with their above 18 rules I'm pretty sure all of us could pass 18 years old.




My Martini Dry, RM30+ sorry forgot. :( Let me share with your my Martini story at Marini's:
I ordered Martini Dry, the waiter wrote it down and left. Few minutes later he came back and asked me what mixer did I want. I literally went ?????. I'm sorry but if you want to work in a place like this it is important to know basics. Anyways so i told him nicely, no need.
When my Martini arrived, there weren't any olives!! Martini Dry always comes with olives! I was really annoyed because I felt like, hey I'm paying more than usual for drinks that I can find cheaper elsewhere, basic knowledge of alcohol is necessary. James then called a waitress and she helped me add olives. :D
When my drink arrived I was pretty happy cause I was thirsty. When I took my first sip my smile turned to a frown. My Martini Dry tasted like olives in water, diluted, and I could barely taste any Vodka. Sigh.

It was a bad first time experience, but since we were already there we tried making the most out of it. Isabel or Simon suggested we play truth or dare using an app in Iphone.



Rest of the pictures:

A bad picture of us cause of the camera flash that is not adjustable. :(

Natalie. :)

All 4 of us cam whoring in the backseat. Lol.
So overall this place by far I do not like. Not for the night anyways. Not only were the drinks expensive, it was also packed, and the waiters don't know the basic knowledge of alcoholic drinks lol. Furthermore their drinks are diluted: Mojitto - barely tasted alcohol, Martini Dry - diluted, barely tasted any alcohol too.
I might consider coming by during happy hour though, but the chances are low.
Service: 2.5/5
Drinks: 1/5
Interior: 3.8/5
