I went here last night for my birthday with a big group of friends - there were about 16 of us. I'd made a reservation for 9:30, and then found out that they start charging cover at that time. I told my friends to get there a bit earlier to avoid the charge. Our table wasn't ready until almost 10, so the big group of us was awkwardly squeezed in by the bar waiting.
We waited a long time for everything. Our drinks took a long time to get to us, and our food took a VERY long time; we waited 45 minutes to an hour for our food. I ordered small plates of the pulled pork on butter rolls, and the fish tacos. The pulled pork was delicious, even the bread was really good. The fish tacos were good too, but seemed skimpy on the amount of fish. My friend raved about the oysters. I can only assume that the waitstaff just didn't really care about serving us because they had already tacked on an 18% gratuity charge to our bills. They also had something on the bill about an option to add $10 to your bill to buy a round for the kitchen - are they for real?? The food is pricey enough as it is.
I wanted to dance, so we settled up our tabs and headed to the main bar by the "dance floor" (it's so small!). A bunch of my friends left at that point either because they weren't into the dancing, or they just found it too crowded. There weren't very many people dancing, and we soon found out why - they don't let you take your drink onto the dance floor!! I've never seen this anywhere. I guess they don't want people spilling their drinks on it, but the space is so small that it's not like it would even take long to clean up. The DJ was ok, but he was on the upper level playing to the crowd downstairs. We wanted to make requests, but nobody wanted to have to go all the way upstairs to ask for a song. My one friend did request a song, and he never played it.
This bar didn't do anything to enhance my night, it was made fun only because I was with good company. We would have been much better off at a pub; I'll remember this for next year.
