| - I went here for dinner last night and wow - not impressed. We had reservations for 6:30. When we got there, we were told that the people before us sitting at our table were just finishing up. 20 minutes later they are still there, so we are instead given a smaller than desirable place. I realize this is out of their control but it didn't start the evening off well. 20 minutes after we got seated, we had to go find a waitress to take a drink order - not sure if they had forgotten about us or what.
My biggest complaint is that we didn't get our food until 8:30 - a full 2 hours after our reservation time. No bread on the tables or anything to snack on. My order was also wrong, but after waiting that long I wasn't about to say anything. The waitress didn't come to check on how things were at all, and other little things came up (a soup was forgotten, and a salad didn't contain advertised ingredients).
In the end we didn't get out of there until after 9:30pm. A 3+ hour dinner (which is normally ok, but it's nice to not be waiting for food for the majority of it). A complaint was made and the waitress brought drink coupons for the NEXT time we come. I will admit that it is an attempt to correct things but I would have much rather had our drinks compensated for THIS meal as a goodwill gesture. Or an appetizer brought out to hold us over since they had to have known the wait for the food. To use these tickets, we will have to come back, which I really don't want to do.
Oh - and for those who want a real supper club vibe, you'll be disappointed - it's all modern. No wooden paneling, it's too bright in there. I think by definition, a supper club is not modern. The only thing reminiscent of a classic supper club were the candles. I get that it is trying to appeal to Millenials but come on. The Old Fashioned got the vibe right and it only opened in the last 10 years or so. The original Avenue Bar was around for much longer than that and had the appropriate decor.
Not impressed in the least. This is not a place I need to go back to.
