First, contrary to the club description, we were told that dinner at the restaurant doesn't get you into the club and there is a cover ($20) unless you order bottle service. ”

It's not that there weren't people waiting outside to get in, no there were more than enough people outside to fill up the club, but the lame bouncers kept saying that the club was at capacity and they could only let people in if other people left. ”
