Editorial Review for Kobe Club – by Justin Hartung
In Short
Though owner Jeff Chodorow made Kobe Club infamous with his printed retaliation against less-than-impressed critics, his steakhouse's zany decor would have done the job anyway. With its stingray-skin bar, rocks hanging in leather straps, and 2,000 samurai swords dangling above diners' heads, the space could double as a Klingon sex club. Prices are out of this world, too, for dishes like sake-cured salmon, foie gras "steak" and the main event: various cuts of Japanese, American and Australian wagyu beef.

We had a reservation at 8pm during restaurant week. At 9:15 we left. The hostesses were SO rude. Literally not nice. I don't know who they thought they were. We left & went across the street to Quality Meats where the service was excellent & we only had to wait 10 minutes.
Pros: n/a
Cons: rude hostesses

Don't bother showing up, save your money for a better place. We were a party of 7 and had 8pm reservations, the first person checked in at 7:45 and the whole party was there by 8:15. We were not seated until 9:05, that is over an hour after our reservation, we were literally shoed away by the hostess when trying to get an update on when we would be seated. What is the point of a reservation if you don't keep it, the bar was packed with other people jsut waiting to be seated.
Pros: Thumbs down
Cons: obnoxious hostesses, unattentive staff
