by Shica R. on We went to celebrate a pals birthday this past weekend. I had an excellent time overall, but there were quite a few things that really bothered me. As you can see, the benefits outweighed the downfall and I'll assume that I should not travel in such a large circle the next time. First off, I heard of the AYCE crab legs and was READY to jump on them when I got there. They said that they didn't have them, they had an appetizer order of grilled shrimp. Huh? How is that a substitute??? Oh, well... When do they have these crablegs??? I ordered something to drink as I was parched when I first arrived. I ordered the shrimp wrap 5 minutes later. 15 minutes later, we ordered the fusion wrap for the dude. 15 minutes later, the waitress assured me that she had not forgotten about me. She FINALLY brings out my drink and the dude's food. Hmm... yep, she forgot about me. Good thing, though. The menu fails to mention that the wrap has diced peppers in it, so I asked for mine to be without it. About another 15 minutes later, I finally got some food - after one of my full friends took pity and insisted that I eat the rest of her pizza. Chinua Hawk was performing that night. His singing more than cured all annoyance that I had in the refusal to get me fed. Lastly, the waitress gave our check to us about an hour after she started giving them to all of the rest of the guests in our party. I guess it was just not our day with her. Parking was confusing. We went into the parking lot on the Piedmont side. There was no signage or boundaries to say that parking wasn't just as regular as parking your car and coming on in. When I went outside, I noticed some folks cars getting parked by valet. When I spoke with some pals, they had a few issues in getting parked. I kept going back to make sure that my car was OK and the valet's weren't going to have something done to my car. It ended up being fine. The owner was great. She came to hang out with us, they don't have any ridiculous cover charges or fees to get into the lounge and they are really accomodating for a large informal gathering of friends who want to hang out together on a Friday night. I'll definitely be back!
by Columbus Keehn on Beautiful space. The restored painting as the backdrop is breathtaking. This place really makes you feel like an adult, with its dim lighting, wood-paneled walls and velvety seats. The little bar snacks (roasted nuts, wasabi peanuts) were zingy and fresh. But, the prices were simply too high. I mean, my guest's Campari and soda was $20 w/o tax and tip. My bottle of Amstel light was $12. I guess if money were no object, 5.
