by Candy T. on -don't like any clubs on this street -only been there once and once is enough -was a slow night and the crowd was ghetto and the whole place seemed dirty
by Luther Ganison on I don't normally enjoy gimmicky restaurants. I feel they fall flat 90% of the time and are lackluster even though they may equate to a very enjoyable evening. 5 of my best gals and I had a Girls Night Out at Supperclub during Dine About Town at the end of January. We sort of knew what to expect but where a bit taken aback when a tiny man in drag turned out to be a maitre d'. We entered and were seated in the corner at an amazingly plush bed with tray tables for drinks, a show and our first course. The food for the evening consisted of a crab/carrot/ginger soup, which was phenomenal. Sadly, this dish was the standout of the evening but the crab was so fresh, the flavors so subtle and everything went exceptionally well together. The main dish was chicken of sorts with brussel sprouts, mashed potatoes etc. The brussel sprouts were well prepared, but chicken is chicken in my mind (though it was dine about town, so I knew not to expect anything exceptional for entrees). The dessert was a lemon curd french toast with creme anglaise, served table side in the pan (and the pan of lemoncurd and creme anglaise was arranged to look like several over-easy eggs, which was quite cute) I ordered the Supperclub white chocolate martini to accompany my dessert. It was decent, but tasted a hell of a lot more strong than it actually was. Would not necessary order it again, but it was a good pairing. Now the shows and atmosphere were the most fun part of the evening. It was a little like cirque du soleil meets rocky horror picture show. There were acrobats and the maitre d' even gave a strip show for the crowd after he went around spanking individuals with the drink menu for free shots. Now those were the good, fun, entertaining aspects, but the service was practically non-existent. It was impossible to get refills of water should you want it and we actually had the following conversation. Kate V. "Excuse me, could we get knives and forks for this." Waitress: "It's dessert. You're supposed to eat it with your hands." Kate V. "I know, but it's hot and a bit greasy. Could we get a knife and fork?" Waitress: *eye roll* Is it really that much of a bother for us to get a knife and fork? Fun place, but I think it's the sort of place I'd go back to just for drinks and their night club, not necessarily for food.
