| - SO the flow of this place is neat but it gets really loud and the prices are a little nuts.
You enter the restaurant by first going through a really high-end jewelry store, it then gets dark and intimate inside the dining areas; I really enjoyed the lighting, chandeliers and complimentary champagne while you await your table.
The food is good, like really high-end tapas; however they ask you to order everything at one time for the whole table. We were there on a Friday night, for a friend's birthday- we were literally yelling to talk to each other and our server.
Our bill was around $600 w/o tip, not awful for 6 of us but 1 is vegan/no drinks and two hardly ate.
The dinner is a longer process because the tapas come out at different times (they are shareable, we had a lot of food at the table and some left-overs.
THE ISSUE: There was a restaurant host who had mentioned (several times throughout our dinner) getting us a comp. table at Marquee Night Club. When the club host FINALLY shows up and asks how he can help, my friend says "well it's my friend's birthday and we were told maybe we could get a table", he literally says "I don't give a fuck"!! I am not sure why he said it, maybe he was intimidated and/or joking..Either way totally inappropriate to say to any ladies and my friend went off, a glass was broken and I called the restaurant manager over to diffuse the situation.
I don't want to blame B&E for the entire situation going south, the restaurant is neat..maybe I am just getting to old for all the hype of a club-style dinner.
