by Christine K. on OK. This place needs a DISCLAIMER. If you decide to go here, make sure that you do NOT book ANYTHING through a VIP host named RICHARD. This is a MUST!!! He will screw EVERYTHING up for you. He is a horrible host. let me repeat.. ***DO NOT GO THROUGH **RICHARD*** for ANYTHING!!*** So here is my story... My friend was throwing her sister's 30th birthday there. She wanted a dinner + table service package, and was put in contact with a VIP host named Richard. They coordinated back and forth through email, decided on a preset coursed meal, and set reservations for 20 ppl for dinner. Not only was Richard involved in the email, but so was the head chef + one of the managers. Since we were having dinner there, Richard gave my friend a packaged deal for the club (a table w/ 3 bottles for $400). There were going to be a total of 40 people for the club. Everything was confirmed about a week in advance, and everything was set-to our knowledge. So the night of the event.. people start showing up at the restaurant at the designated time, only to find out that there is NO RESERVATION set for us. They were turning our party away! Eventually they seated us (about an 1-1.5 hrs after our set reservation time) but couldn't seat us all together. We were seated in 4 different booths. The preset coursed meal was supposed to come with 3 appetizers on separate platters, pick from 3 different main courses, and dessert for $25 per person. IT WAS NOT WORTH IT. the appetizers.. they brought out 3 platters for each TABLE, with not enough for everyone to even get a piece each. The food was cold and dry. One of the appetizers had a measly 2 pieces on it, when each table had a minimum of 5 people. The main course (I got salmon) was good. The poor chefs there, got bombarded with 20 ppl last minute, so take my review on the food itself with a grain of salt.. ive actually heard some good things about their food.. but im sure it was pretty tough for the chefs to whip up a precoursed dinner for a party of 20 LAST MINUTE. As far as the service during dinner.. the waitress (I forgot her name, unfortunately) was horrible. She took FOREVER in getting us our drinks for the first round, then it was IMPOSSIBLE to even order a second round of drinks the rest of the night. We literally had to stand up and wave her down to get some attention. The funny thing is though, there is a table right next to us that was getting stellar service from her. We noticed that she would constantly check up on them to see if they needed anything else, but completely have her back towards us and ignore us when we tried to flag her down. how rude. The dessert.. was pretty awesome though, I have to say. It was creme brulee that came in two little sake shot glasses. So my friend complained about everything to the manager.. and we had 2 meals comped + one free shot of patron for the birthday girl. That equates to $50 off of a bill that was over $800 total. HM. The manager was nice though, and i'm sure they did the best they could with seating all of us last minute.. but thats all I have to say to that. So due to the chaos, we didn't even get to finish eating til past Midnight (when our original reservation was set for 8:30). So in the meantime, the other people who were showing up for the clubbing portion of the night couldn't even get in! Why? because our lovely VIP HOST RICHARD.. dropped the ball AGAIN! The only reason why we actually got to even eat and go clubbing that night was because my friend had all the emails saved, and we had an iphone that could pull up her emails-showing PROOF that everything was confirmed from them. NOw a review for the club itself.. I guess there are multiple floors for the club, but you can only choose one and stay there. We ended up in the basement section. If you like overly crowded clubs to a point where it feels like a sauna and you feel like sardines in a can, this is the spot for you. This place also attracts major creeps. We couldn't walk 10 ft without someone grabbing your butt or breathing down your neck, ogling at you like you're a cheap piece of meat. The guys at this club have absolutely NO MANNERS. calling it a GHETTO crowd is a MAJOR understatement. Who knows, maybe it was just that we went on the wrong night - its a possibility. Nonetheless, I didn't like it. Oh! and the drinks are outrageously overpriced!!! be expecting to pay a MINIMUM of $15 per SHOT of ANYTHING that you order. Oh and most of the crowd is older people in their 40's or just about, it seems like. There are plenty of nicer, cleaner, HIPPER clubs in Hollywood.. it actually doesn't take much to top this one.. or to top my experience, at least. The ONLY reason why I even bothered giving this place 2 stars is because of the poor chefs who had to whiff up a dinner for 20 people last minute~ & the awesome creme brulee =)
by Jon Dirienzo on Very good sandwiches and soups. I work close by and will return often. Careful - it's cash only and they may not mention it until after you've placed your order. In this day of omnipresent plastic, that's a bit unfortunate.
by john r. on I was only here once, on a Thursday for the Robots party. Despite it being a minimal/techno party and it being frigid! cold outside, the place was packed with lots of people dancing. The crowd and sound quality were really decent. I'll be back.
