Well, went there to see a comedy show and was not impressed. \n\nSure, like the folks who have rated this have said, it had an interesting 'look' about the place. Its location was hidden, in a not so good sorta way. Would have helped to have a sign, even a temporary one, to let you know where the place is at. \n\nBEWARE - They don't advertise any sort of advance pricing, even on their website. We were summarily overcharged at the door, being misled by the fact that it would have been cheaper to get your tickets in advance - even if that means calling them on the phone from the parking lot. The catch on that is, good luck trying that 'trick', as they didn't take debit/credit - take cash, LOTS of it. Cost us $40 to get in the door instead of the advertised $30. We were told twice, when we first arrived and even after I found out we got gouged, \"oh, that's the advance price.\" Sounded to me like they have a charge for first timers. \n\nIt only goes downhill from here, so expect some turbulence. The drinks are WAY over priced. Expect to pay $11 for a decent Grey Goose vodka mixer. My girls drink was shorter than everyone elses! They had domestic beer 'specials', as well, although their 'special' price was in line with non-happy-hour or other establishments regular price. \n\nWell, we got in and had to share a table, because they oversold the show. I saw first hand that many of the folks who were there didn't even pay, advance or otherwise, as they do have tickets. Those 'entitled' folks will push their way past the paying customers - so sharpen your elbows. The girls working the door were more occupied with text messaging than keeping order among the evidently 'entitled' and free patrons. All in all, expect to see lots of brothers, cousins, friends, sons, daughters, and legitimates who will get in for free, and ahead of you. \n\nI suspect, since there weren't enough chairs for everyone - they may have broken the fire code as well. \n\nI suspect they drink for free too, which explains why the rest of us 'customers' had to pay such outrageous prices. \n\nThe 'help'? I wasn't sure they had any, since we sat at our table for 2 hours and not once did anyone come by to ask if we wanted food, drinks, or even a friendly 'thanks for coming', 'enjoy the show', or 'kiss my tailpipe.' The rude host told us to try the food, but we didn't even have a chance to ask anyone about the food! They did, however, stop long enough to THROW menus at us and ran off. What help I did see, looked confused and overworked. I did tip the frantic bartender nicely, just because I am sure the mass of 'entitled' clientele who were there took advantage of the fact she simply worked there. \n\nWe haven't even gotten to the show yet! \n\nThe show, which was 45 minutes late in starting, was prefaced by music that was certainly treading the noise ordinance laws. I am not 85 years old, but please turn down the thump so we can yell at each other in a reasonable manner. The host, they drug out of some borough in NY, was rude to the talent and slinked off to hide his face when he yanked a legitimately funny guy off the stage - totally ruining and creating an awkward mood for those of us who were there. \n\nAt this stage of the game, even though we only got half of a show we were overpriced for, we left at intermission. In disgust, from being treated shabbily we took off. I have never, let me stress NEVER taken the time to write a review on any place - good or bad - so as to prevent any of YOU curious lookey lous from wasting your time going there. I expected a lot more class from a place that bills itself, in their own words, \"Doc's Place is a restaurant and bar featuring a jazz music lounge. Upscale, yet not formal, Doc's Place emphasizes fine dining and five-star French service without the pretense.\"... Utter BS. \n\nSuffice to say, I would have just posted \"terrible\" here, but I had to back it up. In this day of a depressed economy and with people wanting more bang for their buck, I would suggest patronizing elsewhere."^^ . "10"^^ . "1"^^ . . . .
