| - I've been to Koi twice and neither time got to try their food, but I don't intend to go back.
My first experience was NYE, where we had a table and unlimited bottle service. My friend had to arrive during the afternoon to reserve our table. The first table they tried to give us had no actual table, the second was squished with no room for people to sit and we finally ended up with a table in the back, behind a curtain, nowhere near the action. Turns out bottle service was for off brand vodka only.. if you wanted a bottle of something you'd actually heard of, you were still paying $350 a bottle on top $100's we'd already paid for the table... wowza. We felt duped.
My second experience was for a girl's night out, 6 of us came for dinner. We were seated at a table near the back of the restaurant where we ordered drinks and appetizers. The drinks came out onsie twosies instead of all at once which was weird, and we waited forever for our first appetizer. We finally placed our dinner orders when a fight broke out between two groups seated in the booths behind us. It started with a few people raising their voices, then the manager came over to break it up. Before we know it some chick socks some guy smack in the face, and it's on! We were within inches of the action, literally; I had to duck to avoid getting hit myself. People were being pushed, a server ended up on the floor, tables were over turned and dishes broken while an all out brawl ensued. We grabbed our purses and got the hell out of the way! We went to the front and told them we were leaving and to please tell our waiter to cancel our orders. It was their one chance to offer us something to save face, free meals, free drinks, a return visit, something... but they didn't even apologize, they just looked dumb founded and let a table of 6 hot girls walk out the door. Sure the fight wasn't their fault, but they still have a reputation to protect and ultimately they lost our business permanently.
