by Sandra C. on Royale is HUGE. The only bad thing about it is that the cover is usually ridiculous as well as trying to find parking in the area. The crowd seems pretty diverse (I went on for the Kaskade night), and it was pretty wild after midnight. And by wild I mean OUT OF CONTROL.
by Odis Rinehardt on SO here's the thing, straight off the bat. I would have given this place five stars had it not been for he mediocre food and the use of REAL antiques in place of replicas. Let's begin. The first thing that I thought when I entered was "holy shit I'm old, this used to be DV8!" then I was pretty impressed by the all white decor, led lighting and Indian/Asian decor. But then I said "no way these are real; who would display these beautiful works of art where drunk ass nimrods could paw all over them?" I asked the hostess if they were real and she said yes. To which I thought, well they must hire a person specifically to handle the drunkards from not falling all over them. I came here with a pretty large party so the hostess was kind enough to take us on a mini tour before our meal. The smaller of the two dance rooms downstairs wee reminiscent of the lounge deck on Star Trek (shut up, I'm a nerd OK). And the next room made me think ". . . look into the eye of Mara . . " from the Indiana Jones ride at Disneyland. We sat to eat and the food was really not that impressive. I have had better but I'm not a super big fusion fan anyway. Towards the end of the night when the place turns in Temple nightclub this guy came in and started playing this electronic clarinet? I don't know what it was but it was really cool and it lit up, it was like looking into Kenny G's future. I guess there is a separate review for he nightclub so I will continue there. Food: Not super impressive but might be for someone who has not experienced fusion before Service: Fine, Servers were polite and on top of stuff.
by Jen A. on Saturday night no cover = good. No Joke Door Policy (AT LEAST one girl for every boy) - Fine by me makes for more dancing, less lurking. Go down the slide. Really. Lost stars for the unfortunate DJ. When you are playing top 40, no one expects you to be great just stay out of your own way. . . . If you've got most of the club happily grooving along to played out but solid Justin Timberlake and Beyonce, do not make a poor cut into "The Twist" (yes, I mean the song they play at weddings). Similar cringe inspiring , groove-killing cuts happened repeatedly. Mr./Ms.Club owner, a passable DJ is a must and with Top 40/80's rock mash-ups not that hard to find . . . work it out.
