| - I have to rate the bar and restaurant seperately because they're quite different.
First, the restaurant. Pretty darn horrible. My date and I went there to grab some appetizers and drinks before going out for the night. Maybe we made a mistake by telling our waiter and his "assistant" that we weren't going to be there long, because we were treated like crap for the rest of our visit.
We ordered the VooDoo version of a fruites de mer plate and it was pretty standard stuff. The lobster portion was large, but a tad overcooked and rubbery. They had a couple of oyster shooters in vodka on the plate, and the vodka was God awful, really nasty stuff. The shrimp were shrimp. Not bad, and it was $48 for two, so my expectations weren't too high.
While we were eating my water glass was empty for at least 15 minutes of out meal. Ouch. When it was filled our server reached in between me and my date right in the middle of our converstion to refill it. Besides being rude, the waitstaff was downright unprofessional. I can take some rudeness if you're good at your job, but these people weren't. And at the end of it, for appetizers and drinks, I still dropped a bill on it. Not really worth it.
As for the lounge/bar, pretty good. Get there early (around sunset's good) and avoid the cover charge. They mix good strong drinks, so I can over look the "flair." One of the best views in town, hands down.
