by Julia M. on Sure Saint is expensive and there's a cover charge, but what else would you expect from any self-respecting dance club? My real beef lies with the crowd, which is highly hit or miss. I was at Saint last Thursday and it was fine. Chill mix of people, busy but not too busy so getting drinks and sweating were not issues, generally a good scene. But sometimes on the weekends I'm scared to bring my purse and get constantly harassed by super sketch ball guys. If people don't know that I was a state champion Greco Roman wrestler and carry a fire extinguisher-size bottle of mace, they are going to find out real quickly. That's right Bub, I'm talking about you.
by Marisa F. on Try everything once! It's all interesting and exotic. I don't like everything, but what I do like I can't get enough of! Eating with bread utensils is a new but somehow familiar style. This place is great! It's ethiopian style which means the meats and vegatables are poured out onto a pancake style bread (injura?) and then you use more pancake pieces to scoop up the savory meat and veggie spread. Start with the meat dumpling appetizer. It's two turnovers fried with meat and spices like an empanada. Soooooo good! Be sure to get the meat dish #1. They'll say that it is "dry" but that just means it doesnt have that lentil sauce. Its little chunks of beef with crispy edges and awesome peppers and fresh tomato chunks. (but not spicy) I would probably skip the chicken dish. It's chicken on the bone, and this gets a bit messy with no silverware. It has a funny explanation though. 2 main dishes is good to share for 2 people. The portions aren't small, but I usually don't have leftovers either. If you've never tried Ethiopian food before, this is a newbie friendly place to try first.
