by Crissy Beno on All the rateclubs regulars know about this place, so I'm just going to add my personal experience. The Clermont is an old and seedy club and when you hear people say that the Clermont "is where strippers go to die," they aren't kidding. My friends and I snuggled up against one of the walls next to the bar (the place was packed). No more than 10 minutes passed before the famous Blondie made her way to us, carrying beer cans and all. Blondie went up to me and all she said in her raspy voice was, "OH WE LOVE ASIAN PEOPLE HERE!" She then asked if I wanted to see her crush a beer can in between her boobs. As she asked me this, she took one of the beer cans she was carrying and poured out the remnants of it out onto the floor next to me. I respectfully declined the offer, but the guy next to me did not. In fact, he got a full-on lap dance from Blondie. It was a sight to behold. Not only did she crush a beer can between her boobs, but she also repeatedly slapped the man's face with them. His head was being used like a punching bag and he was grinning from ear to ear as his face was getting smacked left and right. We went late on a Saturday night and cover was $10. The club was at full capacity and we could barely move once we got inside. Go early if you want to avoid a wait.
by Lisa D. on They have really good quesadilla and you have to get it nicks way which is everything in it. The portions is good enough for me to split it with someone and still feel really full. its so good that the sauce is like dripping down my elbow. I really like the chips and salsa too. Its freshly fried and i see the grease stain on the bag.Their tacos are really good too. still didnt get to try their fish tacos yet but i will come back to try it..

The logo says it's "Not Your Daddy's Steakhouse" with a photo of a woman with legs up to there wearing red stiletto heels and accessorizing with a piece of meat and a cleaver. Indeed, this place is more aptly described as "Your SugarDaddy's Steakhouse", as it is where one might go to find a modern rat-pack guy with an expense account. I had the opportunity to visit this new restaurant in the Meat-Packing district on Friday night with a group co-workers. The restaurant is huge, sleek and trendy, with a clientele to match. It's equal parts bar, restaurant and lounge, and orchestrating the crowd in this place requires a staff of many, with headsets and all - not unlike a Madonna concert. The sheer volume of patrons demands a huge coat-check - so big the coat-check girl has to take an elevator to get to it. I picture a vault the size of Area 51 and a sea of cashmere-wool blend coats, all in black. Dinner for 9 got us a banquette right in the center of the restaurant. It also offered a special and specific kind of eye-candy - a celebrity sighting. Adam Sandler was seated at the table behind us, with a group of his friends. Yep, me and A.S. kicking it at STK - that's how I roll. The food and drinks are big and decadent, as you might imagine. I enjoyed two RARE STK gin cocktails which were so strong I nearly floated through dinner. We shared many appetizers - and the best ones were the steak tartare, tuna tartare, foie gras...and my absolute favorite, corn pudding. For dinner I had the bone in-ribeye, which was delicious. And huge. Flintstone-car-toppling-over huge. I could only eat half, which felt more like half a cow than half a steak. Our service was great - the waiter was extremely personable and handled our group very well. All of his recommendations were spot-on, which I appreciated. If you feel like going BIG, go to STK. There is nothing subtle about this restaurant, and it celebrates its extravagance in style. The food is very good, and has good choices for both red-meat eaters and their non-red companions. Don't forget to look around when you're there, because there just might be someone famous sitting next to you. Or maybe you're the famous one - it's hard not to feel that way at STK. So hike up that dress, slap on those stilletos and enjoy.
