Horrible. Pretentious. Don't waste your money. Young crowd.

Ok. Saturday night for my girl's birthday we decided all to meet up here at this place. We arrive about 10:30 to find 5 couples waiting outside. I mentioned to the "list guy" that is was my girlfriends birthday and we will be having about 13 couples meeting us here. I then slipped the guy $50 bucks. he took her name down and said not a problem. I told him I would have one guy coming alone, he lady was coming with another couple and reminded him of the tip i just gave him. Well about an hour later I got a phone call from the single guy, they told him there were too many "single guys" here for that party and wouldnt let him in. I found the list man, and explained to him. He told me i had too many guys. When I personally escorted him over to our area where were were standing and showed him the 12 couples (12 guys, 13 girls) together. he then told me the problem was too many guys had their shirts untucked. I asked him where, and he pointed to some young college kids not even in my party.

So he finally let me friend up.

Another member of my party went to the downstairs bathroom (apparently the cool place is also in business with the dirty epenada place below it) where the cooks who were drunk, said he looked like mini me (since he is short and bald) and made fun of him.

At that point we left at 1:30 am and i took my close to 30 people to another lounge in the village. Basically took 80% of their business at that moment. Mind you, we are all early 30's and buying drink after overpriced drink at the bar.

Stay far far far away. Mark my words.

• Pros: Um.. the bathroom attendant was friendly

Lacking for Perfection

by nyc104 at Citysearch

We celebrated two friends birthdays last night and loved checking out this new place in the Village. Nice drink menu with hand crafted mojitos, etc. But, there were five or more bartenders who could barely serve the ten waiting patrons within 20 minutes. And, we we politely asked if we could get service, one of the bartenders shouted that we would just have to wait. Training and new customer service skills are needed in this area.

The other absolute shocker was that this place has only one bathroom for all its patrons. Late night the place was packed and the bathroom line was literally down the stairs and almost out the door. Who creates a club with this seriously lacking feature?

Good music and cool vibe. However to be successful, some obvious updates must be made.

• Pros: Nice space with candle-lit detail
• Cons: One bathroom and poor bartending service
