We attended the comedy club.;
The club was clean and the seating process was organized and pleasant.
The comedy show was really good. For 30.00 we got 3 comedians and they were all funny.
Now for the bad. Not even keeping in mind that the club is INSIDE a restaurant (because that makes this even worse). the food was absolutely inedible.
We already had dinner at Brasa; it was GOING to be Pickwick and boy did I dodge a bomb on that one.
So just to have something to munch on I order the fruit and cheese plate. Served in a hamburger plastic boat I get some 'fruit' and 'cheese'. ALL of it is at or above room temperature rather than nicely chilled, beading with ice cold water droplets.
I had about 10 warm grapes. They were all a combination of varied degrees of green and brown, all of which was mushy or well on the way to mushy.
Two warm strawberries that actually looked good but very warm???
A few blueberries, again soft, discolored and warm.
The cheese was warm as well, which is scary. The top slices were shinny as if they had been sitting out; obvious by the WARM aspect.
I brought this to the waitresses attention. She said it all looked like this and all was warm. I am thinking why did you sell it to me? Was this a case of.... . Let's see if HE will eat it??? For that price??? For ANY price?
So I exchange for veg plate. A few pieces of celery, carrot, broccoli. Again a 9000% markup which I guess we are supposed to just expect in a venue like this. And warm. Slightly cool to touch but not cold, not properly refrigerated; not even close. The plus side is that the vegetables were reasonably fresh. Proper color and crunchy so we kept it.
In closing I go to a lot of comedy events, and live shows and the season is upon us now. Will I be back?? Maybe.. If someone is there that I MUST see I will go back otherwise I will avoid.
This would have been embarrassing even with a club having an appetizer kitchen. This is a full blown two level restaurant.
Not to mention this was a first date LOL.
Come on guys you can do so much better. These two dishes require -1 on the skill level. Nature did ALL the work for you and it was still a mess. All you have to do is keep these items well chilled; place on a plate when ordered, THAT IS IT!.
