GOOD - NOT A FAN YET; BUT WILLING TO GO AGAIN AND SEE HOW IT GOES.
Grabbed Big John from work yesterday and took him down to the Music Box Supper Club on the west bank of the Flats. We arrived and went through the parking lot and I almost fell into a man-hole that did not have a cover.
Thank goodness Big John was quick and saved me from falling about 4 feet. We found the owner/manager and told him about it and he told us the city was working there today. He found an orange barrel to put in the hole so no one else would fall into it.
He told several other people about it - they were standing around talking about it while we waited in line to be seated. Reservations were made through a site - sorry; can't recall the name - and they changed our date from the 1st to the 8th, but never emailed me about this.
It seemed he was not very concerned that one of his patrons almost fell into a man-hole. He never asked if I was ok or anything. That bothered me.
We were so upset after these two things happening - Big John asked if I wanted to go home. Decided to stay and were "squeezed" into bar seating.
Storyteller was supposed to be about Elliot Ness and turns out it was My Town with Michael Stanley. Not my favorite person. Again; Big John asked if I wanted to leave.
It became a mission for me at this point. We got the $20.00 per person Prix Fix meal and a side bowl of Lobster Bisque. The bisque was good - but not typical. It was very cheesy and had one small piece of lobster in it. It came with a puffed pastry on top. Good - but again; not typical.
Jay the bartender was THE BEST part of our evening. Answering every question and very knowledgeable about the supper club, upcoming events, etc.
Meal was a salad - very very good. Roasted pork with mashed potato's and gravy. The vegetable was frozen not fresh and it was corn and peas. Also included was a slice of apple pie with ice cream. For the $20.00 - the soup was $9.00.
John's tap beer was $6.00 for the first one and the other two were $9.50 each. Asked a female bartender about the change in price and she was clueless. She said she thinks the first price was wrong - someone found the mistake and fixed it for drinks/beers #2 & #3. OK - WHATEVER.....
My whiskey and coke was $6.00 a drink - for all three. Michael Stanley talked for 1 1/2 hours; took questions and pictures. Enjoyable show - I was surprised.
Owner walked by and told us about the orange barrel and thanked us for bringing it to his attention. Grabbed a quick photo op with Stanley after he was leaving.
Food was good - meat was tender. Jay the bartender was very good and the female - Chrissy, Christine or something like that - was ok.
Young man that replaced or took the place of Jay - didn't get his name. Dark hair... was a butthole. Yelled twice for no reason - like a drunk at a concert and I just about jumped out of my skin. I called to him twice for another drink and he never heard me. (If you know me.... WHO DOESN'T HEAR ME WHEN I TALK)????!!!!! Really?????
Going back tomorrow, Friday for the Sausage Fest - sound like fun. Flyer was funny - my boys had quite a time with that.... Put on your thinking caps and pretend you're a 20 year old with a "sausage" fest and the hottest sausage on cold nights flier in front of you..... :o) They make me laugh....!!!!!
Different dinners for the special through-out the month. Called the "general reservation line" three times; but never got a call back. Was a little confusing at to how things work. It's not a smooth running place yet - seems like they are new and working out some bugs.
Wednesday nights shows are free in the Supper Club - Upstairs you pay for your ticket for the show/concert. You do not have to purchase food or drink on the free show/story teller nights. Up stairs has a lighter menu we were told.
So many "things that bothered me" - problems.... We almost left several times, but I do recommend this place - get your information & double and triple check before heading out.
