"Best place for a night of martinis, jazz music, and wonderful atmosphere.\n\nHere are 3 reasons why you MUST come to Velvet Tango Room:\n1. there are NO bad martinis\n2. the owner making you their banana foster is a must try & must eat\n3. their ice cubes are specially made to keep it from melting too fast\n\nNow, I was really doubtful walking into this bar. From the outside, it was dark, it looked small, & it looked like it was almost in the middle of nowhere. Once I stepped in though, it was a whole different story: the hostess is nice, the owner (Paulias) is always around, the drinks are the BEST i've ever had (martini wise), the room is lively, and the live jazz music just adds a hint of wonderful-ness to it.\n\nThe martinis. I cannot even tell you what martini to order. I've never had one of their martinis yet that has failed me. Every martini here is so good you really can't go wrong. The two that I remember having and loving are: Lady in Red & French 75. \n\nBanana Foster. I went with my friend Ferdinand and we got the banana poster. Paulias came to cook it for it and it was just such so delightful to see him cook it in front of you, light the sauce on fire, and serve it in front of you. And, it tastes...JUST PERFECT.\n\nDon't come here for dinner-- come for a romantic night, a relaxing night, and a night to just enjoy some martini. \n\nMake sure you try the French 75! Oh, and don't freak out when you get your bill, this place ain't cheap!"^^ . . "2011-06-30T00:00:00"^^ .
