by Katie M. on The East Side Show Room single-handedly convinced me to write my first rateclubs review. I regret that it is not a favorable one. I gave this place two chances. ESSR had only been open for a week when three girlfriends and I first tried it out, so naturally I cut it some slack. The place was half full and our waitress seemed to be half present. Fine, I was having fun holding onto the wrought iron chairs and admiring the elaborate decor. The ladies' room was friggin SWEET. Patio was cute too. I'm a patient gal, and I realize that these artisan cocktails they serve take a while to make, but all we ordered was beer in a bottle. It was all we could afford. I expected pricey, that was fine, just wanted a cold one. We waited 30 minutes for our beer, never got it, and left. Sitting in the cool chairs got old without a beer in my hand. We inquired on the status of our drinks 15 minutes into said wait time and were told they'd "be right out". I got the feeling that we were bothering her with our presence, as she clearly preferred farting around with the bartenders. We left and went next door to Shangri La, as I had grown thirsty. Not impressed. Whatever. One of my friends that accompanied me on the first trip had returned a couple times and swore by their grilled quail. She invited me out tonight to meet her and another friend there for dinner. Thought I'd give it another try. We sat at the bar and were basically screaming at one another for communication purposes. Super-loud music and fine food seemed an odd pairing to me. We resorted to charades-like gestures. Although I liked the actual music. We ordered around 8:45. I tried the server-recommended $12 meat plate. It was fun sitting at the bar watching these elaborate 12-step drinks be prepared. Let me clarify - it was fun for about 20 minutes, not the HOUR AND FORTY MORE it took to get our food. While we waited.... -we were never asked by our actual "bartender/server" if we needed anything. the entire time. had to scream over the music to ask for another drink (hadn't planned on drinking there for 2 hours or I would have transferred more money from savings into my checking) -after my (drunker) friend was loudly and humorously wondering aloud where our food was after waiting an hour, we were told our food was "coming out next." he couldn't even look us in the eye when he said that. None of us really believed it. -a manager-type did finally come over and apologize for the wait and made us some shots on the house. score. the sole reason this wasn't a 1 star review. -I did get to use their cool bathroom twice, as I was there for the better part of my night. a plus? Sure, I can throw the "plus column" a bone. -behind the bar is an open view of the kitchen, and my hair and clothing had ample time to collect and store the smokey aroma coming off the grill. feels like I went camping. Once the food came around the corner, I couldn't believe my eyes. Was that really our food? If I could upload of photo of what I got, I would. Four small slices of beef, 2 different small plops of pâté and some onions? I felt like one of the Clampetts from the Beverly Hillbillies..."sooochi? where i'm from we call this BAIT!" It came out on this giant plate and all I could do was crack up at the sight. I tried the quail and the lamb burger my friends ordered and both were very tasty. Worth the wait good? That sh-- would have had to be dipped in gold and served by George Clooney to have been worth the wait. We were only told once we got the food that they were short staffed in the kitchen. Oh, ok, cool? Yes, I realize quality food takes time to create, but I always appreciate a good attitude. Everyone working there seemed too cool for school. This place is all about maintaining a hip image that comes off as super snooty. Let us know when we order that it's going to be a longer-than-usual wait because you are short-staffed, and I would be waaaay more ok with waiting as long as I did for dinner. I guess it's not hip to be polite. I can go to Chez Nous, get excellent quality, excellent service, and I don't wait longer than 20 minutes to eat, even on a busy weekend night. I realize it's a totally different type of vibe they're going for there (friendly?), but I don't want to hear that quality takes two friggin hours. Maybe I should have told them I was Abe Froman, Sausage King of Chicago, to get better service.... If you're looking for awesome ambiance, feeling totally rad, sipping fancy schmancy drinks and have no where else you need to be that night, head on down to ESSR. Not my cup of tea. Not going back, but they don't seem to worried about maintaining clientele anyway.
by Blake Norise on We went on Salsaria Saturday night. Can't beat this place with $10 cover before 10p.m., lessons from 8-9:30 p.m, and $3 heinekins all night. Live band plays at 10p.m. Hot delicious food was served all night, except that after 9p.m., there were only burritos and quesadillas served. After a long night of dancing, anything was good to fill up the tummy. People were extremely friendly, and amateurs felt comfortable getting on the dance floor. All different backgrounds and ages were here, and people were flocking in after 10p.m. There's a convenient coat check for patrons with a $2 donation. It's located in the industrial part of the city, so parking is easy. Huge dance floor, but not sure if the place is A/C equipped, as it gets hot & sweaty. I had to take breaks from time to time outside to cool off.
by Andrew N. on Umm Rouge: NO Nick's Crispy Taco's: YES Rouge is just awful and I am baffled at those that actually pay the $20 cover for the night club side.
