| - Along with my husband and 3 other friends, we went to the Orange Sky for drinks. I had dressed up very nicely for the occasion including my Ellen Tracy top, black pants and nice jewelry. I also wore patent leather thong sandals. Upon entering the ground floor by the elevators to the Orange Sky, I was told by the maitre d that I could not go up because I was wearing flip flops. Meanwhile, others in tennis shoes and baggy jeans were allowed. My friend said she had some old walking shoes in the car and we should get those. So, I went out to the car and got the dirty old walking shoes and proceeded to put them on and head back. No problem - admitted. Now we get to the top and I see other women in silver thong sandals, beige thong sandals, etc.
We had drinks and a couple of apps (salmon cakes and the chili beef tips). They didn't have much of a selection of apps and really no imported beer. The apps we did get were expensive and nothing very special.
The sunset, however, was spectacular in spite of the dirty windows but to be fair, there had been a dust storm the day before.
On the way down, I stopped by the maitre d again and told him I saw other women in thong sandals and he said that was not true and that he would not let anyone in with "flip flops". I'm not sure if this guy had something against me or what but he certainly seemed to have missed the entire concept of the purpose of a dress code.
I would not go back here in spite of the lovely sunset.
