| - I came here on a Friday night around 11 and the party already started! There's a huge disco ball above a relatively standard size dance floor with some strobe lights coming from the bar, also hitting on the live band playing cover songs from the 80's to now - mostly rock and pop songs. The crowd was everything from mid 20's to late 50's.
My friend and I easily got a spot by the bar which was nice. Although there was a lot of free seating inside and outside. Inside there are two bars, one underneath the platform of the live band/stage and another bar in the back where it's quieter and away from the dance floor as well. There's also a third bar outside, a huge one at that, with lots of seating at and around the bar.
The food was phenomenal, shared the Beef Tenderloin and Apple Tart ala Mode. My friend had some drinks which tasted great. But both the food and drinks are extremely pricey. To get in, the cover for ladies was $5, which I found funny since it's more of a restaurant anyway than a nightclub like Maya or Mint in old town haha. There's tons of police at the front which was comforting.
The bathrooms were stunning, granite and marble throughout and extremely clean! Overall, very lavish - more so than the restaurant itself, haha.
The bartenders and staff were very helpful even though they were immensely busy they made sure to come back and check on you - even though it seemed like they didn't have the time to, but they did anyway, lots of points there!
Overall it's a nice place, even for dancing. But it's also more chill and relaxed than a traditional dance club or nightclub because it does serve food and has more seating and areas for conversation rather than investing in a large dance floor (more of a makeshift let's move some tables out of the way). A cute transformation of restaurant gone nightclub. Honestly, I think Sandbar at Desert Ridge does a better job of this, but if you're looking for something more "high end" this is where it's at and it's not far from Desert Ridge, it's in City North which is 5 minutes away.
