| - I've been here 4 times. They are hit and miss with great experiences I want to tell everyone about and really bad ones that I wish never happened. The bad experiences seemed to all revolve around the hostess girls.
The last one was bad but I'll be back again because of their awesome happy hour. I consider myself a happy hour expert and theirs is damn good with several top shelf options for bottom shelf prices.
They (are supposed to) open at 4:00pm. The last time I went my wife and I showed up a few minutes early. The door was locked but no biggie, they aren't open yet after-all, so we decided to chill and chat outside the door. 4 o'clock came and we tried again but still locked... Whatever, its beautiful out and I have the best company in the world to wait with. 4:05. Still locked.
By this time another couple had come by and left, not wanting to wait like us.
4:10... still locked. Seriously? So I decided to call almost as a joke.
I did. They picked up. I asked what time they opened. She girl replied happily that they opened at 4. My next question was to ask what time it was because I was waiting outside. I was nice about it and all.
Her reply was "ummm", then I heard her ask someone else if the time was right on the computer, then she put me on hold. Tic toc..., a minute or two went by and by this time we were getting a little frustrated with it now being almost 4:15.
I hung up, tried the door again, still locked, so we walked away. We got pretty far away and sat on a bench so I could consult Yelp on the next new spot and looked back to see a girl poking her head out the door.
We went back and were let in. No "sorry about that" or anything which is about all it would have taken. We ordered our cocktails (the C.E.O.) which is supposed to be a dirty martini with Chopin, by far my fav vodka. Its a potato vodka unlike the Belveder (also very good but not Chopin) which he used for the martinis. Small detail but it would have been nice if he said something instead of just using a different vodka than listed on the menu.
We ordered their steak quesadilla which was awesome as usual.
I've had dinner here also and it was expensive but very good. Place gets nuts (pretty fun crowd) at night with live bands, cougars looking for rich guys, and poor guys pretending to be rich to land a cougar.
Post up at the bar and have fun.
So I guess "it is what it is". I'll be back. People watching is great.
