In Short – Through an eye-catching glass-block entrance lies a sculpted-concrete and exotic-wood-based interior. In the dining room, circular low-back chairs and banquette seating are surrounded by an open fireplace, 20-foot waterfall, and towering wine cellar attended by flying "wine fairies." Menu selections highlight evolved steakhouse fare with southern touches such as barbecue pork three ways (pulled, loin and belly), venison chop and a bacon-wrapped blue nose bass. The bar and lounge feature circular fire pits, James Bond-inspired sofas and an open ceiling for stargazing.

Wow what a dump and I heard they went chapter 11

by pgeoeoroa at Citysearch

Serves them right. Horrible food and an attitude problem. They focused too much on trying to squeeze every dollar out of guests rather than making them feel welcome. The club was also horrible with a lousy crowd. Glad they are closed down.

  • Pros: THEY ARE CLOSED FOREVER!!!!!
  • Cons: EVERYTHING ABOUT THE DUMP

Worst night ever - lots of fights

by balabala at Citysearch

We visited this bar on a sat night, they made us buy a table but didnt even give us any bottles with the table. The waitress took forever to show up, she probably only showed up twice the whole night. $6 test tube shots are overcharge and very weak. drinks are very small and water down! There was 4 fights broke out that night and we found out that they escort the person who start the fight back into the club!!! they escort the person who was beaten for no reason out of the club!! WTF?! We later found out that whoever start the last 4 fights were the same group of ppl and they are probably friends of the owner. At the end of the night one of our girls tried to use the bathroom, but they wouldnt even let us back in to use the bathroom, we were not even out of the club yet and they wouldnt let us back in! this place is overly hyped, totally not worth the experience!!!

  • Pros: maybe you can find cute girls there.. lots of girls wearing skimmpy outfit
  • Cons: fights all over the place, overpriced drinks, bad waitress, expensive, overhyped, horrible bouncer, bad vibe

Fun place!

by CM77651 at Citysearch

I like this club. Yes, it's not as hot as it once was, but who cares??? You come with your friends and dance to great music. I don't know how the line situation works because whenever I come, I come with people who get me in, but I do know that it's so fun inside. Plus they have an open roof, so it's not hot.
