| - Following a rather busy Saturday, a small contingent of us managed to get a late dinner in. I only heard good hollers about this joint so took a detour from the Commonwealth (still never been to yet) to give them a try since the couple we was with lives deep in Hendo.
From the outside, the place looks like a dive bar or possibly even strip club or swinger bar appearance, with no windows or accents other than a well lit sign. There is parking around the building and the place can be found on the south side of Sahara.
Upon entrance, I immediately dug the atmosphere. Very dim lighting for those scared of the dark, lol. It is deceivingly spacious inside and well designed in several sections for dining and the more bustling bar area.
There was a pretty sick DJ in there spinning hits with the accompanying music videos to match. Unfortunately, we were seated in a four person booth that was directly under on of the speaker monitors, making it extremely hard to communicate. We resorted to sign language and drunken facial features before long.
There is a vast menu of custom cocktails and saison beers. Nothing extravagant, but offers a little more than your mainstream domestics and imports. They brew their own beer as well but went with Chimay (red label) and recommended it to my buddy who is not accustomed to Trappist beer. The ladies went with some cocktail that was a bit sour for my taste and probably explains why I didn't get its name.
For dinner, there is two happy hours, one in the early evening and a reverse happy hour later at midnight. All items with a star next to it are half off, considering some of the steaks range from average prices up to $160+. My homie went with a New York steak, his lady the clam linguine, and I shared a medium rare rib eye with my girl. Steaks are aged and grilled well. Defiantly good cuts. We got there about 11 and killed some time with the carpaccio, calamari and shrimp cocktail until happy hour hit. Oh yeah the mac and cheese was on point as well. Not nearly as good as DW Bistro though.
The decor is hip and trendy. The bar was packed and this place seems to cater to a nice variety of heads. A boat load of friends drove in from Cali on a whim and met over here before hitting up Spearmint Rhino for one of the girl's barfday. It got a bit busier then and they were in the secluded section all on their own, and sadly, was not pleased with the waitresses neglect to them like some orphans with B.O. (poor things).
The overall experience was great and can see ourselves coming by in the future, either to pre funk before a headliner venue, or just to get a late bite to eat. The place is a hit and was highly recommended from my co dub and another couple.
Oh yeah, since the place is about rye's, don't forget to get the Sazerac...after a few, I dubbed it the commissioner sazerac (sic) instead of Sisolak...go figure.
