| - I had high expectations for this restaurant. We made our reservations via OpenTable and although a little late (9:30), and considering the fact that they close at 2am, I didn't expect to loud and dark karaoke bar.... I specifically added to my reservation that it was my boys 20th birthday, expecting some sort of fun for them, but nothing. Not even a mention.
To start us out, we had to wait 10 minutes on a table. When we arrived, we were the only people in the waiting area. So much for reservations. Also, we had to yell in normal conversation due to the music volume. Even with that, we decided to continue and had to request a table upstairs where it was semi-quiet. It was pretty obvious that we were there to eat and enjoy our night with the boys. During the wait, a man who appeared to be wasted came out and was yelling at us to come in participate in the karaoke. Really?
We finally get a table upstairs, only to learn on the way up that we can't slide two tables together, due to fire rules... No one was up there but us and sliding two tables together wouldn't hinder us getting out in case of fire. Both sides of the table had 2-3 feet of space to walk. So we had to sit at two separate tables. Yay.
We start to order drinks and I decided to have a beer. So I selected one from the beer menu, where I was told that they didn't have it and the manager pulled the menu from my hand and said.. "Oh, this is an old menu and the beer I selected didn't even have a chance of coming back, (giggle)". I asked what they had in the same style and she had no idea and went to ask.... 10 minutes later, I had an answer and ordered the alternative drink.
We then decided to order, and were told at this point that they were out of nearly everything. We were reduced to pretty much the most expensive filet mignon and burgers. Geeze, what a mistake to stay here. We were then asked if we would like an appetizer, so we said sure! We were then told that we have more bad news. They can't make anything that requires flour. OMG, seriously? Sad situation.
The food was ok as for taste. This place is a bit pricey. We ended up with a $130 bill and 3 of 5 people had burgers and sodas for everyone but my one beer.
I can't recommend this place unless you just want to listen to music and get drunk with friends and whale on a karaoke mic.
Sorry Nick (or the owner). I expected more, based on your elegant website and the experience it bolsters.
