Got the chance to check out the new hotspot carbon bar last night. Girlfriend and I loved the food. We shared the fried oysters which were a great start to the night. Afterwards our mains were the lobster gumbo which is a must try and the beef brisket which I'll say is the best I've had in the city. So soft and melts in your mouth, very yum.
Now the place and staff....you were ok. The decor of the place was pretty neat but limiting. They give no indication as to what the place was like before. EC show was never done there, it was only the night club which much music decided to later pay homage to as we all know. I made a fun comment about the DJ and sound equipment you see plasterd on the wall like art work and I jokingly suggested can I take em down and play with them. The hostess tried to catch up to my humor but didn't work, oh well points for trying. Our server was good to start with but by the end of the night I get the feeling she was trying to rush us out which I wasn't impressed with, kept trying to clear off our table numerous times. Lastly we were looking for a table at around 7-730 which they kept telling us they had none yet we stayed till almost 830 and saw those tables were LARGELY unattended for the entire time we were there. What's up with that?
Anyways great food and I'd go back with a larger group just to try a lot more stuff. Staff? you did your job and were fine but lets be a little more pleasing and professional I know you can do it :)
