| - I don't know why I have not reviewed the Cactus Club, even though I have been there several times, my dining experience last night really made me remember what I like about this place and also, although minor, what I don't like.
Likes:
Very nicely decorated inside. Uber-modern, cool bar area separated by glass so you can see in and out of.
Signature Rob Feeny selections, I recommend the hunter chicken, quite possibly the best I have had. Deserts are not too shabby either, we shared a key lime pie and it was heavenly....ahhhh what I would do to it in private.
Awesome appetizers, generous in portion and quite possibly the best calamari I have had in a long time, it was tender and I loved the tempura peppers that they had added for a bit of heat.
Friendly waitresses, although somewhat provocatively dressed, were quite helpful and competent, which is always a plus.
There was a management presence and we were checked up on by one or two of the floor managers just to ask how we were and how the food was. I like that, to me it means that this establishment actually cares enough about the customer to just pop by and say "hey, I hope everything is good" is great by me, even if it is a bit overzealous at times.
Dislikes:
Reservation restrictions, cannot reserve after 6:30 and if you reserve prior to that time, half your party has to be there to hold the table.
We had a round wood table, surface didn't feel quite as clean as it should for a restaurant, a little sticky in places. Kind of turned me off.
Could have had more sauce and lemon wedges for the yam fries and calamari, traditionally calamari has lemon served alongside and was disappointed when there was none, and the mini sauce plates did not provide enough if everyone was to take a spoonful, some were left with none, boo hoo. Didn't complain though, it was packed that night and the waitress was so sweet.
All in all this is a great place, I will definitely be back and although I don't get the vibe that this is a family restaurant, there were a couple of tables with kids, but quite frankly for the price points, I wouldn't bring my kids here. Not crazy expensive for the quality of food, but with the buzzing bar smack dab in the middle of the restaurant I would say it is not a family type joint, more of a nice place out with a group of friends or a corporate function.
See you soon, my prickly friend!
