This 3 star would be a 4 star, but our service was terrible. Yes we had a large group, but the server rarely came by and when she did acted like it was a problem to get anything. I threw a surprise birthday party here and they catered to that well, except when people were ordering the one server skipped over every other person to take orders. So some people had food while others didn't. One person got their meal after everyone else was finished. That being said I ordered the sushi and it was pretty good. No one else complained about the food. Just the service.
This was a birthday party so, I was amazed at how it transformed from restaurant to dance club. The lights came on and the music got louder and louder. But that made it fun. It was what we were looking for. Uptown feel in Ballantyne. $10 Cover after a certain point in the night, but were there early enough not to pay.
My final thought is about the crowd. Wow. Pretty diverse. Cougars, guidos, hipsters, some college age, and the guy who should not be dancing but is.
Like I said fun atmosphere that completely changes at night, but work on hiring friendly staff!
