I've waited a long time to write my review of Roe after visiting for one reason: my wallet was stolen so I had nothing nice to say. Now that the anger subsided and I am patiently waiting for my driver's license to come in the mail, I can write a legitimate review. The bf and I got all dressed up for a night of dancing. We were on the guest list which closes at 10. The line to get in was so long that it wasn't until 10:30 that we finally made it to the front, at which point the bouncer said it was something like $25 EACH. Calmly, the bf said that isn't fair because we've been in line for a really long time. The bouncer told him to get out of line and basically started yelling that we were holding up the line, at which point another bouncer came up, told him to calm down, and led us in for free. The club is nice in itself, the drinks are well-priced, they offer a coat check and the music is actually very good. It has multiple floors and even though there were a ton of people, I didn't feel squished or have people invading my personal space TOO much. But then, I reached into the small purse on my shoulder and realized that my wallet was gone. And the wallet-to-purse size ratio means it was impossible for it to fall out. I thought at first that maybe I wasn't paying attention...but then we went to ask a bouncer if he could help us in any way, and he said that 3 other girls had reported stolen wallets that night. The owner gave me his card and said to check in during the week, but of course the wallet never showed up. I'm trying not to think about everything I lost that night, but I think the part that turns me off the most is that several girls suffered the same fate. And I don't know that I want to go back to a place that pick-pockets like to visit.

This place confuses me-- I just don't get "swanky" bowling alleys. What is the point? Bowling alleys are supposed to be dirty, serve shitty beer, and smell like an ashtray. (Remember the days when you could smoke in a bowling alley?) 300 makes me think of what it would be like if someone put bowling lanes inside a Ruby Tuesday. It's just too homogenized and too... too... CLEAN. My rental shoes weren't even moist and icky! Plus, they do not serve pitchers. But they WILL serve you an overpriced, watered-down mixed drink and some pretentious food. Look, all you need at a bowling alley is some soggy french fries and a pitcher of Miller Lite. It's not that difficult, and it shouldn't be expensive! This place fails because it just tries way too damn hard.

Don't you HATE when you get really excited about what you ordered and you can't wait for it to come out. And then when it does and you try your friend's entree, you REALLY WISH you ordered what THEY were eating???? GRRR!! This is not a "grass is greener" or "you want what you can't have" instance. I got the eggs benedict which really wasn't that fantastic at all. In my opinion, the hollandaise REALLY makes the Bene! Wasn't impressed. EXCEPT when I tried my friend's Frittata. That was seriously the BOMB! My friend wasn't too thrilled because I pretty much devoured her meal instead of my own. LOL...whoops! This is a great place for brunch with friends on the weekend! It's like going to a club during the day. The music is really loud and the restaurant looks like it should be a Las Vegas lounge rather than a breakfast joint. But that's what makes it unique. Get your groove-on while you get your brunch-on! Great scene, great crowd. It was a good mix of people. Check it out!
