by Keilani B. on Top Flr = Top Notch food and service At least that was my experience last night. A girlfriend and I ate at 7:30 after having made reservations only a few hours before. Turns out they weren't needed. This must be a late night hotspot because it was relatively quiet when we arrived and barely filled out when we left. We were seated immediately upon arrival at a corner table upstairs. No waiting for us. Our server, Nick, was very attentive and patient with us. We were too busy jabbering and drinking wine to make timely food selections. He kindly opened a bottle of wine that we had brought with us and didn't charge corkage. We eventually ended up sharing the tuna tartar which had a nice kick. The tuna was very fresh and the portion was plentiful, even for two. I had the crispy duck breast and it was delicious. Perfectly seasoned and cooked, presented plainly on a small white plate. No frills needed, the food spoke for itself. My friend had a salad, which she said was good, but in my opinion a boring selection. We shared the spaetzle which was large enough for four people. It was nothing to write home about, but complimented the duck well. I can't comment on dessert because we didn't have any. Come to think of it, I'm not sure if they have any or if we were even offered. Could be the wine, but if they don't have any dessert my husband is not going to like the place. I don't know why others have complained about portions. Our portions were so large, neither of us could finish them. No wonder why America is so fat. Get a big mac and fries down the street at McDonalds if you want to stuff yourself silly. Like the name, the décor was predictably minimal if not somewhat battered but clean... mostly black and white with small splashes of color and graphic wallpaper. It's very bright there during the day, but I'm sure when the sun sets all that wear and tear gets camouflaged. Bottom line is, unlike some restaurants, they don't need to distract you from mediocre food with a whole bunch of glitz and glam. The bill was very reasonable, most likely because we brought our own wine. For those of you penny pinchers out there, they have their own parking lot right next door. No valet, or at least there wasn't one on duty last night. I maybe walked 10 steps to the front door. I would definitely give this little neighborhood gem a try. I can't wait to go again myself and try out some of the delicious cocktails they offer.
by Bo Rinks on lame, it's definitely not worth trying to park... I mean there are so many better places, like your home. and the name is perfectly generic, just like the crowd.
by Brett C. on For that entirely too large bar move. Once you get to the westerly location of this monstrosity of a bar you will almost immediately see a line...or the makings of a line, or just people smoking around a bouncer that wants you to think there is a line. After you speak with this large, mostly uneducated individual he will inform you of the one rule which he knows in the universe...and no it's not the theory of relativity, it's not even 2+2=4, these are all far too complicated for this individual. He will say if you have no ladies then you either can't get in, or will have to pay to get in...Now I understand this theory, I know the reason for these rules, so you would think that once you got in there would be about 5 girls to every guy...but no, there is an even split between guys and girls and now the bar is only filled with the desperate men that actually paid money to get in...look around and watch these poor desperate saps beg women to sleep with them only to realize that by the end of the night they will most likely go home with anyone left over. The following at this place is largely bridge and tunnel so when you see the guy standing on couches pumping his fist you know exactly where he is from. The dance floor is quite spacious and the drinks are overpriced. I guess the moral of this story is that bigger does not always mean better, and that not letting men in without women will not shift the numbers that much. In summation, my advice would be to avoid bars with lines, avoid bars where they tell you that you need women to get in (isn't the whole point of going to bars to meet women???) and most definitely avoid bars with names like "the park." If you must go I would suggest packing a flask, or getting ridiculously shitfaced before showing up. The $12 redbull vodka's and $6 Corona Extras just are not worth it my friend. After getting hammered walk past the bouncer and right in, just ignore the line and he will think you just walked outside for a smoke. Now go upstairs, and dance with that fat ugly slut by herself on the dance floor...why? because you are one sick son of a bitch that's why.
