by Jeannie H. on I really enjoyed the atmosphere as bars go. The decor is a mix of industrial power plant, goth, and some underwater submarine Jules Verne-ish copper fixtures/decor thrown in. There's also definitely a retro, noir feel to it, which is enhanced by silent films playing on the big screens. The whole place has a really fun and energetic vibe to it. I think what I like most about it is the great mix of people from all walks of life - ages 20s to 50s, grunge, suits, etc. This is a place people come to hang out with friends, not to be seen, which is atypical for the LA scene. I'm not sure what the complaint is about the dress code. You're going out so I presume that looking put together is common sense. -1* for the god awful bar service that was chaotic, understaffed, and excruciatingly slow. +1* for live music (mediocre music) and cabaret performances. +1* for $9 valet and no cover.
by Mitsue Bethay on So you saw the episode of Sex and the City, right? Let me guess, your on the Sex and the City tour? Oh! Thats your huge bus outside? Why, yes the cosmos are divine.... GET A LIFE! Please, this bridge and tunnel, over-accessorized, short-skirts, bad suits, and all around loud bar crowd thinks too much of themselves. Sure the food is good, atmosphere is dim and relaxing and the massive Buddah is really cool but this place became name drop central and tourist destination #5. The yuck-o crowd totally ruins any zen moment you may try to have as you bite into their amazing Kobe beef -which you cook yourself over a stone. Unless its so crowded that they have no more stones and offer you a boiling bowl of water to cook your beef. Can you tell that I really want to like the restaurant? The food is good (pricey) and the atmosphere is gorgeous. Sorry three stars for the played out factor and the crap people who hang out there.
