aside from our 9 yr old daughter and her friends having a good time, we (the parents) were very disappointed with the lack of detailed information and forget about getting in touch with anyone there...we always had to leave a message..don't call on weekends.. no one is there to take your call. we were never told (in a timely manner) that if we would like to order a birthday cake we would have to give 2-3 days notice...meanwhile i specifically said i was looking for a place for a birthday party...hint! Then, the very nice waitress informed us that there would be a $5 fee per person for singing! We wanted the manager, he didn't talk to us but instead let the waitress do all the talking for him.. We did not pay for that.. the food was already expensive. the waitress and the Emcee were the only nice ones there...and when you are on stage, the background singers drown you out anyway...

I arranged for a group of us to go this past weekend to celebrate a 40th bday. I had made reservations for our group weeks in advance, but yet we still were not all seated together. When I inquired on why, the extremely rude manager told me that that is the way it is with a large group. Which was not the case, since once the table next to us opened up, we were able to use it and now all sit together. The menu is bad and the food is worse. Be happy if it arrives luke warm. Charging $10 a person to get on stage is absolutely ridicules and apparently selective - so beware tourist - you will be screwed. Our bill was over $850 - you would expect to be able to sing for free. I did approach the manager about this and was spoken to horribly. If we weren't such a large party, we would have left. I know I wanted to but didn't want to upset the bday girl. A second manager did send over a round of shots, to appease us because our screen to select music or contact other tables also did not work. They're are plenty of other fun places to go in the city that are worth the money and where you will be treated better. The staff at Spotlight made it clear that they did not care about our business!

Pros: Trendy

Cons: Staff, food, price
