| - Dean Cole was awesome and my three stars are all for him. Unfortunately he needs a place to perform and I need to include that into the equation. The venue is great, awesome atmosphere, very nicely decorated, one of the nicest clubs I have been in and I have been in one. I kid, I have been in too many to remember. However, there were circumstances at the venue which caused me to lower the rating.
I was sitting stage left near the VIP seating.
A couple came in late and sat behind us about fifteen minutes into Deon Cole's set and that's when my experience went south.
The lady behind me somehow didn't think that showroom etiquette applied to her. She took a few phone calls and during one of them was remarking about how loud it was in the showroom and that she couldn't hear. It didn't even dawn on her to leave the room to take a call.
On top of that she was oblivious as to what an indoor voice was. She was determined to keep talking at a higher than normal level and no staff member made an attempt to get her to stop.
Finally, when I was agitated as F**K I told my server about this issue and she said it would be taken care of. It was taken care of about as effectively as the water I requested...the water that never was.
When the loud mouth received her food...well we all got to hear about what was brought to her and what she had actually ordered. I was so distracted because this woman was right behind me. I turned around a few times to give her the visible yet not audible STFU! which was lost on a deaf brain. The guy with her obviously was not the Alpha, but he was not a dude I wanted to have a confrontation with in this particular crowd and I could tell she was not a reasonable person so I just stewed.
A few minutes later...our table becomes illuminated while this woman decides to take pictures of Deon. Do people really think a cell phone flash works effectively from that far away? Obviously this woman did and she used it over and over. Each time she focused...FLASH, each time she took a pic, FLASH...Damn I wish that dude hadn't been so big. Throughout this there was still no staff member to put her in check.
Speaking of check, I didn't much appreciate having the automatic 15% gratuity added when I didn't receive my water at all, nor did they deal with Miss Oblivious to Showroom Etiquette. Not to mention that the food was horrible. I ordered chicken tenders which are supposedly hand breaded. There was trace amounts of breading on these three over cooked, (likely prepared way in advance and kept under a heat lamp) dry, and just Sh**ty, flat pieces of chicken. The dipping sauce was minimal and only helped deal with the dryness and add to the dismal experience.
Finally, towards the end I was able to get back into enjoying Deon. I've loved this guys material for years and am just so disappointed in this Venue. If Miss Oblivious had just talked on the phone a few times that would have been enough, but her repeated disregard for others can't be overlooked when you run a club like this. I am not sure I will attend this Venue again unless it's someone I just NEED to see. I would rather head to LA because they wouldn't deal with this Sh*t there. I have seen guests get booted for much less than what this numb vagina was doing. If they can't figure out how to deal with guests like that, what would they do if there was a heckler?
