by Twistidfunk y. on This place is straight up awesome! Floating on the Hudson with great views, nice breezes, and great sunsets. Burgers, hotdogs, and beer. What can go wrong?
by Cyndee S. on I really don't understand why some rateclubers rated this place under three stars. I guess those people are better suited going to a Ruth Chris. Granted this place is not for everyone. A few tips...If you are prudish or uptight, go elsewhere. If you are not open-minded and adventurous, go somewhere else. If you clean your plate at Cheescake Factory, eat before you arrive. If you get jealous easily, don't bring your boyfriend/girlfriend. The performers flirt :) For those who were disappointed, I am sorry. THIS PLACE ROCKS! For those of you who are considering this place, read the reviews (especially this one) so you know what to expect. When you make a reservation, they ask that you confirm the day of the reservation. When we did so, the hostess told us to come closer to 7pm. Doing so will give you a better seat. So if you are perpetually late, don't get pissed off that you are not on a bed, or are in a bad seat. Besides, if you do get there right at 7pm, you have more time to enjoy one of the many yummy beverages at the bar before being seated for dinner. If you arrive after 7pm, expect to stand in line at the hostess stand for a while. Check-in takes some time, but check your impatience along with your coat while you wait. Once you get checked-in, you can go into the bar. They ask for a credit card right away. In reading the reviews, some were put off by this action. The reason they do this is simple: During dinner, the stage becomes a dance floor and also a club that opens up to others not having dinner. So, if they can't track you down because you are dancing on the stripper pole in the other room or you became offended and left abruptly (like our uptight neighbors) they can just bill your card. The bar is beautiful. I love the disco balls hanging from the ceiling. The drinks are delish and plentiful. Well drinks cost $11. I had a drink called Veeva la Jude. It was muddled blueberries, pomegranate infused vodka, acai juice, and club soda. OMG. Good! My friend had a 'Pillow Fight'. Muddled cucumber, rum, squeeze of lime, and club soda. Very good as well. We were seated on our bed and immediately greeted by our server, Tex. We just sat back and enjoyed the ambiance, which was superb. The mood lighting, the music, the people...all great. The first course was a bruschetta toast with warmed mozzarella, roasted napa cabbage, topped with frisee, and drizzled with a balsamic vinegar reduction. I cook and have an appreciation for fine food. This did not disappoint. Very good. The performances started after the first course and continued throughout the night. There were three total. A trapeze artist, a burlesque dancer, and a belly dancer/fire eater. There were also contests between guests. One contest was a relay. There were two teams of six people each. At "Go", the first person was to take (and finish) a shot, ride a minibike to a mannequin, dress the mannequin with an article of their clothing, ride back, and hand a shot to the next teammate. This was a hoot. The winner was not the team who completed the race the fastest, but was the team with the most articles of clothing on the mannequin. The all girl team was quite lame, they just dressed the mannequin with everyone's jackets and a pair of shoes. The other team rocked. One girl removed her bra from under her shirt and put it on the mannequin. All the men dressed the mannequin with their shirts. When it came down to a tie; meaning each mannequin had the same number of articles of clothing; one man removed his pants. Then a girl from the other team removed her panties. Everyone's a winner! Between the first and second courses, a massage therapist asked if I would like a massage. It costs $20 for fifteen minutes. CASH ONLY. Well worth it. When she was finished my second course was waiting for me. Seared sea scallop atop grilled zucchini was the second course. Again, let me stress that this place is not for lovers of all-you-can-eat or those that ask for a bucket and a cleaning woman after a meal. I admit, I have a healthy appetite, but I did not leave here hungry. So if they hand you a plate and it has one scallop, don't worry, there is more to come. The main course was a grilled quail breast with roasted veggies. The meat was tender, juicy, and had exceptional flavor. The meat was pre-sliced, so it was rather easy to cut into while holding the plate on your lap. If you still have your mom cut your meat for you or you have some physical disability (like you are drunk), you may have difficulties performing this task. Dinner concluded with a warm peach cobbler topped with vanilla ice cream. The crust was crunchy and the cobbler was perfectly sweetened. I left completely satisfied. I commend the kitchen. The food was delicious and did NOT taste like a mass plated meal. Prix Fixe menu $70 for 3 courses.
by Romona Scheid on I just wanna dance, I don't want pretense or scene. I want to wear my comfy jeans, be able to talk over the music and maybe bump into some friends. Oh, and shake it and listen to some good music - Shine isn't a half bad place for it. The ventilation could be a little better. There is always a line for the bathroom (one seaters!) The sound system is kinda iffy. But I always have a good time here...
