| - Hmph... I had always wanted to try this spot, and living within walking distance for the past 3 years hasn't done much to change that, until now. After catching a show at the Herberger, Ashley A. suggested we go here for drinks/food. I wasn't really feeling it because I was scared of what I expected in terms of premium pricing, but we went anyway. The elevator ride up was fun and it made my ears pop. Once we got off the elevator though, things kind of stopped being fun and I felt like I just stepped into a closet. It was so dark!
I will give the Compass one thing, their service is fantastic. Unfortunately, service does not make up for the lack of quality in food or the overwhelmingly inflated prices. They didn't have Coke, which really irritated me, so I just had a water. We ended up getting the Drunken Shrimp app since we weren't entirely hungry and then the Lava Cake for dessert. The sauce with the shrimp was startlingly salty. Even for me, and I oversalt everything. The shrimp were okay, and there were only three. Seriously? 20 bucks for 3 shrimp and a piece of bread. Sheesh! At least the desserts were priced fairly. The lava cake was okay, but it doesn't even come close to my beloved Domino's Lava Crunch Cake.
After checking out the rather uninspired menu and it's awe inspiring prices, I won't be back. Besides, the view from the top of the Chase Tower is much more impressive, so the view alone will not get me to come back.
