| - Update: After contacting the manager (at his request) he urged me to visit on a weeknight when the noise level is lower. The noise level was the least of my issues...smh
Pro's: The decor is awesome. Our waiter was very attentive. The hostesses were great. The doorman was a nice touch and very polite. The ping pong tables were a fun touch.
Con's: See below...
Went here to celebrate my birthday by having dinner with 4 girlfriends on Saturday night. We arrived early (6ish) and were seated quickly. We ordered drinks - 2 of my friends ordered Moscow Mules and they came served in glasses rather than copper mugs. When we asked why they weren't served in copper mugs, our server informed us that they must still be dirty from the morning brunch (really??).
Our entire table ordered the sea bass special. The food arrived very quickly (within 20 minutes), which I was disappointed b/c I told the server to wait a while before putting our order in as we just wanted to sit and converse for a bit. Everyone's fish was drastically different in size. In addition, my foodie friend was convinced that the fish wasn't sea bass, but a different kind of bass, or a halibut, or something else. The taste and texture weren't typical sea bass. Our waiter said he went back to the kitchen to double check the fish and came back and said the chef confirmed it was sea bass.
Our table ordered another round of drinks and again, the Mules were served in glasses. In addition, my friend had come back from the bathroom with a piece of toilet paper stuck on her shoe (yikes!). Our server picked it up and crumpled it up in his hand. I saw him go and throw it away and go back to waiting on tables. Ugh...my stomach turned!
We lingered at our table for a bit but decided to move to the outside where the volume was at a lower decibel than the incredibly loud dining area. People were watching football and screaming, I get it...but the music was pounding at the same time and people were having to scream to hear each other. It was annoying, but we moved on.
Once outside, we ordered another round of drinks (this was probably at 9:00 PM) and shots. Every mixed drink came out in a small plastic cup (less than half the size of the drinks inside - and still no copper mug). We ordered cherrybomb shots and it was the size of a regular shot. They mixed the vodka and redbull together and it was the tinyest thing ever. Oh, and they had run out of Tito's vodka. By 9PM???
We were able to get our hands on the ping pong paddles and played for a bit. Unfortunately they didn't have paddles for the 2nd ping pong table, so we had a lot of people waiting on us to finish our time playing.
Finally, the bartenders were incredibly rude and disrespectful. Most of them looked like they were pissed to even be there.
Overall, I'd like to give this place another shot. They can only get better...I hope!
