| - If you're looking for a true "lounge" that is a lot more chill and less dancey than a nightclub, this is your place. The room is not all that big - more of a large bar than anything - and there is positively no dance floor. I mean, you could dance in the aisles between couches, which are fairly large, but the music isn't made for it, or at least not when we went.
Which was on a completely dead Monday night. All the tables in the center of the lounge were reserved, but the ones around the edge were open. All had a nice view of the ceiling, which is the nicest visual feature of this place... some modernist spin on Asian lanterns that constantly change colors. There is a really nice patio in the back that they seem to air condition somehow, and the lounge seating here also wasn't reserved. You can't look down or out from the patio (some big wall there), but you can look up, and there is a nice view of the stars.
But the real winners here were the overpriced cocktails ($15 each). The glasses of champagne (also $15) were all just OK, but we had a pomegranate martini that was life changing - enough so that I took down the menu's description of it on a napkin: ultimat black cherry vodka, POM pomegranate juice, rock candy syrup, and a splash of cranberry juice. I think it was the flavored vodka that made it so good.... and I do recommend trying this at home.
