< BACK TO Fresh Intelligence Southampton's $27 Vodka Soda
Food blog Eater got its hands on a receipt for a single bottle of water and a single Ketel One and soda from Nello Summertimes in Southampton. The tab? A staggering $48.88. That's $18 bucks for the bottle of water, and a mind-blowing $27 for the vodka soda. (Beer goes for $20 a bottle, as does the cheapest glass of wine.) At least now we know where restauranteur Nello Balan got the money to pay off Page Six for favorable coverage. 
I trashed Nello Summertime 2 years ago on Tripadvisor after a memorably awful night there which left me shocked and traumatized for weeks. I still can't believe people pay for deliberately bad service and inedible food, all the while Nello is watching the chaos completely unconcerned!

Alot of them have money and figure of what the hell live hit up. 10 years later they a broker than Evander Holyfield and Ed McMan Posted by: dasandman on July 4, 2008 8:22 PM Though Nello in Manhattan is chaotic, it's always well-run and the food consistently good. Nello Southampton is chaotic, over-crowded with the worst sort of social-wannabees, has bad food, bad and careless service and is shockingly overpriced for what amounts to an infuriating experience. Most restaurants and bars live and die by word-of-mouth. It amazes me after all of the consistently crap service and overpriced food and chaotic atmosphere that somehow people still turn out to Nello Southampton. Could it be that there is always a crowd of new, unsuspecting wannabees - or are they just that stupid that they'll continually put up with such a terrible experience?
