Mozaic is Work in Progress

Since it’s inception, Martini Park has not equaled expectations. The venue’s concept is spectacular. The venue’s interior is splendid. The venue’s pretension and pricing are the problem.

Upon my arrival at Mozaic, the venue was merely buzzing. I am certain a half dozen excuses could be offered and I will not impart any implication… I will simply state the obvious… If a venue cannot challenge capacity on their eighty-first night, this is comprehensible… If a venue cannot challenge capacity on their initial night, this is cause for concern…

While their attendance is a conundrum, Mozaic’s illuminated bar, bottle rack, and plasma waterfall are an artistic triumph. The waterfall showcases rural and vibrant scenes and the bar and bottle rack compliment them perfectly… Akin to several venue aspects, the structure evokes Martini Park…

Potentially the venue’s signature are the four French doors, which when opened provide this city’s premiere sidewalk café experience… Instead of traditional tables and chairs, which have been placed toward the north and west of the main room, patrons can enjoy comfortable leather couches and a view that encompasses Park and Vine Streets.

Evoking Martini Park and Sugar Bar, Mozaic costumes their severs in cocktail dresses…. I don’t oppose form flattering black… However, silver sequins and white, which they allow their drink slingers to wear, would have made a unique statement… Fashionable and trendy are admirable objectives, but individualism is much more memorable…

Where Mozaic should score is it’s menu, which includes appropriately priced cocktails and cuisine… In lieu of the nine and twelve dollar martinis competing venues offer, Mozaic’s prices are six and eight… Their menu also includes an extensive bottled beer and wine selection.

Where Mozaic could collapse is their atmosphere, which tonight included several bunny chasers who wore suits their mothers selected… Lamentable shoes… Nauseating ties… Wrinkled pants… These accountants and technologists arrived seeking prestige and a platinum bunny and I’m assuming they exited with neither… Luck may be preparation meeting opportunity, but these office ostracized are ill-prepared and will never receive an opportunity…

They may ruin a venue… Mozaic could be a scrumptious scene and they could be a pariah’s paradise… If last evening’s assembly is an indication, Mozaic will merely resemble a scrapbook collage.
