More drink, please! Well, I wouldn’t have minded if the block of ice were a wee bit smaller. More drink, please!

With one big chunk of ice as opposed to a lot of smaller pieces, you are decreasing the surface area of the ice. Decreased surface area = slower melting time. It keeps you drink colder for longer. Yes, it does feel like a rip-off, but a lot of cocktail purists will say that this is the ideal way to enjoy a cocktail. Either way, $12 for a cocktail always makes me cringe.

Unless I was paying for the extra shot.

That massive BLOCK OF ICE Comme Ca serves in the majority of their drinks makes you feel ripped off. It's like, come on, I'm paying $12 for a cocktail, the least you can do is serve it in a (slightly?) larger glass, or reduce the BLOCK size somewhat. It made me feel like I was in Tijuana and everyone was conspiring against me getting a real drink for my dollar! Come one Caroline, don’t you have some connections!
