Tiger is our favorite, but there's a ton of great tenders of the bar at TTR. Tiger is one of the only guys I'd call a mixologist, through. Maybe 3, 4 of them on the property. The rest are talended booze-slingers, though.
They're all really good. We tip them each time we order (with the exception of long stretches in the pool when we'll tip a $20 initially to carry us through). Not only do they earn and deserve the tips...they all work hard for it, but when there is a long line at Paty'Os waiting for drinks...I seem to have my Skyy and Sprite in my hand without speaking a word the very moment I hit the bar because he saw me coming. I tended bar all through college, and I always took care of those who took care of me.
I love it when the bartenders remember me, so I always help them remember. I figure a good starting tip to break the ice and then some smaller tips throughout the day to keep the memory sharp should do the trick.
Glad they got rid of that guy. He was always so smiley and interactive with the guests. Too quick on making drinks as well. And who wants a bartender than "No Speak English" anyway? Glad they are weeding out guys like that. Good call.
