by Jeffrey Katsuda on As a New York City female, in early 20's, who has been to most if not all NYC hot spots, do consider my review prior to attending this place: My girlfriends and I arrived at 12am, there was absolutely no one in line. Hey - great for us. We get inside there was literally 10 people (excluding the staff). Drink Menu is $15 wines - $20 cocktails. Well, wouldn't you expect the place with such drink prices to at least meet your expectations? The decor is classy and upscale. The music sucked until 1:30am, DJ was playing some old crap and was doing a bad job. At 1:30 it finally got crowded and thus the music got better. So here goes: Maybe because it is a fashion week season, but the crowd was "models" (who probably live in one room and share a bed), with nothing beautiful about them per se and with stinky attitudes, who I've noticed pushed everyone around. The staff was in plain English, retarded. They will push you , shove you as far back as they can to make their way to bring ice to someones table. It wasn't even that crowded. The doormen, will push you around inside. As my friends and I are spending hundreds of dollars at the bar, as you can imagine with their prices, a waitress dares to push my friend, who was not even in her way, spill a drink on (sorry to show off) my friends $2000 top and dares to get rude with my friend. NYC girls don't take sh*t from anyone, even if you're god. My friend tells her off. The waitress then brings a 6'5 bouncer, and of course lies that my friend pushed her around. The bouncer then dares to threaten my friend. I mean dude really, you can be sued in this city if you say the wrong sh*t to the wrong person. Especially, who the F&*^ do you think you are, to talk down to a customer, who is spending sh*t load of money in this place, doesn't bother anyone and it's a petite girl?. Yeah. Awesome image for a club. General manager could care less and as far as I'm concerned, if the place keeps up with their nasty staff, we all know what happens to NYC clubs - 1-2 years of fame and gone. Or better yet, lawsuit. Last but not least, as a good looking group of girls, who I assure you don't look like crackheads, the so called "models" kept coming up to us asking if we have "the stuff"... in other words, the place is a drug abuse circus. I am giving this place a 10 for their great decor, including the downstairs bathrooms. (2 stars as per my review) Word of advice to the owner, since you have such great experts at the door, making sure only the good looking and worthwhile people get into your place, make sure that once those people get in, they get the respect any customer in any industry deserves - because after all your customers inside who actually spend money, are the ones that keep your place pumping and bring profit into your pocket. Therefore, train your retarded staff some discipline and respect.
by Michael L. on They have good happy hour special and a big bar scene which I usually stay away. This is one bar where I can find a space to hangout and chat. They have happy hour dinner specials for $12 every weekday except Tuesday. One alcoholic drink and one entree. Pretty good deal. They also have all you can eat wings and beer for $20 on Tuesdays. If you are into the scene you go to the bar. But usually when I come they can read my face and seat me in a quiet area. They also have a karaoke room in the back. This place is also open for late night drinks.
by Glen Simmes on Y'know, I hate to be a party pooper, but as a starving student I am pretty disappointed I wasted my free meal (dad paid!) on this place. I was excited about the fried chicken and grits (swapped out the mashed potatoes), both of which were just OK. The fried chicken was tender yes, but very much on the peppery, borderline spicy side - causing me to consume extra hydrogen oxide and emptying the glass. Anyone who's dined with me a few times realizes just how much I HATE for my water to run out, particularly when I have mildly spicy food that I need to wash down. This often results in cold food. =( Cute place (transformed house), good looking menu (free biscuits and cornbread, both just OK), good atmosphere (lively but not too loud), awesome instant reservations through open table, but since I only get so many free meals (read: parent visits) a year, I doubt I'll be back and chance it again.
