by HungryDoberman P. on This is a great place to go - if somebody else is paying. It's your typical starfucker trendy nightclub with bottle service starting at a $400 for a $25 dollar bottle of Jack Daniels. (Never mind how much champagne costs). The crowd is pretentious, materialistic, and shallow - but hey this LA if you weren't expecting that you obviously haven't lived here very long. If I had oodles of money and a ferrari to park outside I might spend more time here. FYI this is a real nightclub, the "list" does exist here and if you ain't on it you ain't getting in unless you're in a gaggle of hot chicks.
by Ben G. on Cosign w/ Dej M.'s review--almost exactly, in fact. It's not simply a coincidence when two strangers experience the exact same problems at a place, i.e. ridiculous charges for water and cover. From the website: Salsa lesson at 8:30 ($5). Latin night at 9:30. $5 before 10PM and $10 after. We were informed upon arriving at about 9:00 that we had to pay $10, but that we could join the lesson. Uh....ok. But we already missed half of it. The woman at the door told us "it's $10 all night, not $5." Great! Whatever. At least we got half a lesson. I was willing to pass that, since the lesson was good, until I needed some water about an hour later. I was told at the bar "we only have bottled water for $2." Um. What? Like every other bar in town, you can easily dispense some tap water into a cup. Where I'm from, not serving free water is illegal. Shame on you for taking every single opportunity to milk your patrons for money. Third strike: some dude in the bathroom whose job it was to squirt soap into my hands and then offer me a paper towel after I had washed them. We are not in NYC and this is not 1930. Sorry dude, but I'm more than capable of washing my own hands. I imagine in the future there will be a sign on the bathroom mirror requiring people to pay a fee to wash their hands. Even for Hollywood or NYC this place goes too far, especially with the lack of free water. I will not return because of this alone, but the rest just confirms it for me. It's too bad, because the salsa lesson was good and I had fun in spite of these irritations! It's just not worth it for me.
by Isaura Ozaine on My friend Amy and I recently stopped in Philly to visit her brother and his wife. They took us here for dinner. At first, we were a little horrified at how overly trendy and hip this place is trying to be. Some of the upstairs is decked out to look like a futuristic update on a 50s diner, while other parts are pure nightclub. One section even has those chairs that hang from the ceiling, which look like they'd make eating at a table a little too cumbersome for my liking. The women's bathroom had hot pink sink fixtures, and both bathrooms had two-way mirrors above the sinks. This means that people waiting in the little foyer outside the restrooms have a full view of you washing your hands, adjusting your makeup, picking your teeth, etc. I found this entirely too disconcerting. The bathroom is a sacred place, dammit! The staff was also ridiculously hip, the music was thumping and the cocktails had silly names. One tasted just like grape koolaid and others came in colors Crayola hasn't even named yet. And once we saw the menu, the flavor combinations really had us worried about their attempts to be trendier-than-thou. But lo and behold, the food as actually really good and surprisingly affordable. Two of us got the crab pad thai and it was delicious. My friend's seared tuna was also great. We also ordered four appetizers. The fancy cauliflower gratin and the wasabi mashed potatoes were fabulous, and the roast beets were decent. I didn't try the fried pickles but everyone else said they were good. We were way too stuffed for dessert.
