by Philip Giacherio on Full Disclosure: I came with a private group and didn't get the chance to see the full menu. Favorite thing that I ordered was the fried green tomatoes. They were very well prepared and made me want more! The fried chicken I had was ok - but for my first experience in the South with fried chicken, I was expecting more of a she-bang! The boullabaise blew the fried chicken out of the water. Also, the place was FREEZING. I even asked if they would turn the AC down. I had to slam back wine in order to get a liquid coat going on to warm myself. So ridiculous. I'd come back though, mostly for the fried green tomatoes.
by erik w. on A few weeks ago I was "secretly" taken to this place for Salsa lessons. Meaning, I had no idea where we were going until we got to the place and only then did I find out where I was going. If my date didn't look so stunning, I probably would have bailed. It kinda bothered me that I had to pay $5 cover at 8pm, but I figured that $10 for dance lesson is probably very inexpensive ($5 cover, $5 for lesson per person). When we first arrived, we were the only peeps there, so got a little private dance lesson. Our teacher was way cool. She called me out for being an awful dancer within the first 5 minutes hah. I felt a little emasculated, but I guess it's better that I'm a bad dancer then too light on my feet. Surprisingly, the salsa lessons weren't as awful as I expected it to be. No one else who was taking the class knew how to "salsa", so I didn't look terrible in comparison. The crowd that arrived after the lesson was ridiculous. Perhaps the weirdest mix of people I have ever seen. Cool place, but the mirrors on the wall would be a little weird for a happy hour setting. I may go back for more lessons, but only if I get duped into it again haha.
by Herbert Daines on It was uh - interesting. A restaurant turned into club. The crowd was as boring as a bunch of UC Engineers and the girls who were dancing on the bar were - well - they shouldn't have been doing that. In LA, security guards will kindly tell you to step down if you don't fit the bill, I wish they did that up here. I mean it's cool if you wanna dance, but if your ass covers most of the bar and I don't even know what kind of libations they offer, that's pretty bad. The music was your typical top 40s/hip hop/mashup. My drinks that I did have were a bit on the weak side but I guess I'm forgiving cuz drinks in LA are waaaaaaay more expensive and as equally watered down. Luckily they stamp you for in-n-outs. And even more lucky, we didn't use it to go back in. I wouldn't really call this palce a nightclub, more like a bar with an area to dance. This is not a place to mingle. You bring your own people to mingle with.
