The restaurant, which features other drinks named for famous stars like Dave Chappelle, Duke Ellington and Marvin Gaye, had five stars on the online review site Yelp as of Monday morning, but by this afternoon it was down to 1.5 stars. A rash of one-star reviews came in Monday letting the establishment know its date-rape drink and attempt at humor was not funny.。

On Monday afternoon the restaurant had posted an apology on Twitter, but shortly after inexplicably removed the tweets. We've reached out to the restaurant, but haven't heard back yet.
