The Mint falls somewhere in between a 3 and 4 Star establishment. I love this place for Happy Hour. The food and martini's are excellent! Even the barely twenty something servers who don't look old enough to buy cigarettes, actually give great service! (This is pretty rare in Old Town).
As a lounge this place falls a little short. The problem is that their pricing plays to a slightly older crowd, late 20's-40's but their clientele consists of $100 millionaires and wanna be playmates. Also, dance music plays but there is really no dance floor, in fact they encourage people to dance on top of the booths. It's definitely not my first choice for a night out, but it has a good concept and great food, so it might actually have a chance of surviving in Old Town, which is appears to be a challenge these days.
