| - I've had dinner here before, food is mediocre and overpriced, at best.
My review is about going there for when its a full on supper club - ABSOLUTELY AWFUL!!!! Brassaii is in the trendy part of king west, trying very hard to be brant house or something more upscale but it was incredibly lame... lets start with the douchebag bouncer/clipboard guy, you go down some sketchy alley where all the people from firkin are smoking so i had no clue where the line started.. when i finally get in what i think is a line and it's my turn (I was there by myself meeting friends inside), I'm about to go in behind a group of guys and hte bouncer ropes it off on me pushing me aside... first of all, your lame club is NOT at capacity, I am one woman by myself, even if I was a grotesque toad, you could let me in because lets face it, I would really up the visuals in this pathetic excuse for a club. I'm like excuse me? are you letting me in or what? and he, in a very rude tone, tells me he has to let the party he's dealing with in first... because just letting me in right after would make your club go over capacity or something? meanwhile, my friend txted me the name of a friend who had reserved the table. Now when I name drop, this guy's tone changes in an instant, turns out they have the biggest table in the middle and I can't miss it when I head in, he lets me in immediately and becomes polite all of a sudden. First of all, easy with the power trip. If the highlight of his miserable life is standing in the rain for 4 hours with a clipboard on a saturday night in an alley, doesn't mean he has to take it out on patrons. Even if all you do is stand with a friggin clipboard all night and deny people entrance, there's a level of candor and hospitality you should maintain as the first point of contact people have at a club. This was some nasty white guy with spiked hair (like that narrows it down), absolutely pathetic and rubbed me the wrong way. I hope his loser ass gets fired or he gets some training on how to be a decent human being.
Well I finally get in and it's douche central, music is top 40s and dumb sh!t like "wiggle wiggle" lol I feel like I've stepped into some high school day jam... the crowd was questionable and not my scene, so not worth the $10 cover. If you're looking for an upscale experience on king west - THIS IS NOT IT! Save your money and go somewhere nice like brant house (also douchey but at least lives up to being more upscale than this place) or honsetly, anywhere else on king west lol I won't be going back there and I hope they shut down or fire management/lame bouncers and aggressive bus boys, I get that you have to pick up glasses in a rush but you don't have to shove people out of your way, the glasses won't melt if you take an extra five seconds to walk around people
