Our Signature Cocktail Series continued recently at the newest 1252 Tapas location at Uptown Park in Houston. Typically, using the word spastic is reserved for truly spastic moments. Maybe it's been overused in the past because only now have I witnessed complete and total service industry employee spasticness. Let's begin with... The Manager. This guy's love for 1252 is as the love of a mother...
