Good times

by a_commentor

I have been to this club a few times and have never been disappointed. Most recently, was there last night. Loved the music! Other things, like prices for cover and drinks, i think are typical club prices. The drinks are made well, and not watered down like i've experienced elsewhere. Granted, i always get there early enough to avoid cover charges and huge lines, so i dont know what happens at that time of the night outside, but inside is a good time :)

Oh my only issue was that a few of my friends had called and were told no jeans or sneakers for guys, but yet there were guys wearing jeans and sneakers(and not classy "prada" sneakers either!!!)!

Worst club to be at in the City

by xxlcovergurl

i wish i saw the reviews b4 i planned my b-day party here.Ok so i contact promoter Philip D. regardig Duvet or Taj and he recommends Providence saying its very upscale and promising many things. There would be no wait in line (10+ppl on guestlist gets a Free Bottle),my date and myself would be Free all nite long, My guestlist guys free til 11:30 &$20 after and females free til 1Am. A bunch of Lies, Lies, amd more Lies. Before i arrived i was already receiving calls from my guests who were saying the club was charging them at the door,mind you it was only around 11pm. when i arrived around 11:30pm i went straight to the door where i was told to get on line. when i explained i was having a party there they didnt care, just told me to get on line.As im walking to the line with some of my guests they tell one of them they couldnt come in because he had on jeans mind you im watching them allow ppl on line get in with jeans & bcuz they are wearing converse and they're white or asian and not african american wearing pradas its within dress code. Im arguing with the (cater to white and asians) black short guy about the dress code policy which the promoter said jeans were allowed. Im kept asking for Philip D. and no one seems to know who he is.So i get on line with my other guests when another bouncer comes and tell me and all of my guest to get off line. Im thinking ok maybe they are going to escort us inside. NOT!!!We step off the line and stand on the side as the bouncer and telling me we now have to pay $30 each or we arent getting in. MY guestlist now doesnt exist and they dont know who the promoter is. One of my guest come outside and tells me the promoter is inside and has my guestlist but that the manager told him not to come outside and that he doesnt want to get involved. Now im flipping out and calling the promoter myself who is not responding of course. the manager finally showed her big haired self and tells me they are not honoring my guestlist and that she informed the promoter to contact me to cancel my reservations because my guestlist had too many ppl. WTF!!! when have you ever heard of that??? 1st my guestlist didnt exist now i have too many ppl, which one is it. Mind you its now almost 12:30 and most of my guest are inside. so after arguing with the manager i decide that i will go inside alone and meet with my guest that are already inside. When i get on line they tell i am not allowed entrance to the club.WTF!!! They made me sooo irate I thought i was going to jail that night for sure...WE wind up going to another club but my night was ultimately ruined....Im really comtemplating filing a small claims suit....Worse club of All......Definitely......

From a neighbor

by kshark

I live in the neighborhood and have been here many times with tourist guests and just my girlfriend, it is amazing. You have no idea how beautiful it is inside from the sidewalk, but the place is huge! The food has been excellent every time I've dined, and it is extremely reasonably priced, the prix fixe is 40$ or something and available on the weekends, which is unusual, but good if you're just hungry. The only thing is that they don't seat very late on the weekends, due to their club that opens later, but I like the club also, so it's no big deal. Seems to be getting a rap from some clubbers and people who want 3 courses in 60min, but it's definitely a great restaurant, especially for the area.

• Pros: Food, ambiance and value
• Cons: Limited seating on weekends
