by Eugene C. on I've been here twice and I was signed up on the guest list each time but the gorilla at the entrance refused to look me up. Maybe he was following orders, maybe he's just a dick or maybe he can't read. Either way, take my one star and shove it up your ass G Lounge.
by Renea Elawar on Maybe Copa is more of a night spot than a lunch place. I am definitely interested in checking it out some time, even though I am not a good dancer. Don't get me wrong, my food was good, but I think the atmosphere and layout might work better as a club than a sit-down restaurant. The front of the restaurant looked classy, a bit like a lounge, but for some reason, we were seated at a plastic conference table near the exit to the patio. The hard walls and floors throughout the building made the environment a little bit loud, even in a far back corner. The lighting was not bright overall, but one track light shone directly into my face, which was slightly annoying. Had I not been with a group, I might have asked to be moved. An observant server would probably have noticed this problem, but mine did not. He did, however, get everyone's order correct and delivered our meals promptly. I definitely recommend the Green Chile Pechuga ($8.95) a chicken breast smothered in onions, peppers, spinach, tomato and queso (I left off the mushrooms and gave away the avocado). Aimee C. and I shared this entree and I thought the portion was ample (no split plate charge either). I can't vouch for the charro beans, but the rice was pretty ordinary. Fortunately, I had a little extra queso and onions from my chicken, and those helped improve the rice considerably. Since Aimee and I split a meal while our friends had their own meals, and some people had soft drinks while others did not, we took the time to write our names and the amount we wanted on our credit cards on the back of our receipt. Well, the waiter disregarded this and split the bill evenly. This inequity was minor, but I did end up paying about $1.25 more than I would have otherwise. But later, I found some money in my car, so I feel like in the grand scheme of things, the universe balanced out that day.
by Lucas M. on Something wicked this way comes....nice underground (literally, unless that was the alcohol talking) joint where the downtemp tunes spin, the drinks flow and the long line for the bathroom forms. But hey, it is big so you can fit one of your buddies in there to watch the door. Good crowd, good vibe and somewhere I will likely come back in the course of my adventures in the city.
