Great place to spend a few hours

by dms34 at Citysearch

I went here for the first time this weekend. The food was excellent, down to the rolls the waiters pass out. Their pasta @ brunch time was awesome, and their fish and chips were also great.

A few things prevent me from giving them 5 stars...the decor is worn down. The white metal chairs need re-painting, and the carpet is worn out. At such and expensive establishment, I would expect these things. In addition, they expect you to tip everyone! There is a line on your receipt for the captain's tip. I don't even know who the captain is, so shy should I tip him? They also make you check your coats, and of course you have to tip the coat lady. This all adds up, so in addition to an expensive meal, you can expect to add about 10-15 in tips, not including the server.

• Pros: Awesome Food
• Cons: Expensive

HALLOWEEN SCAM

by acole21 at Citysearch

this "awesome" halloween party that was advertised was a complete scam. I & 6 friends bought tickets at $60 a piece for the halloween on the green party. it was advertised that the event started at 10, we were waiting in a "line" til after midnight, i say "line" because it was more like a mob scene. Thousands of people crowded in the rain for hours outside. we never made it inside, leaving when things started to get violent. Thousands of people were sold tickets and were not able to get in. the police came because over the overcrowding was a fire hazzard. Although i wasnt able to get in, I heard that it was so crowded that even though you paid for an all you can eat buffet and open bar that you couldnt even get to either one because of the crowd. again COMPLETE SCAM!!!! so many people are discussing lawsuits is ridiculous

• Pros: absolutely nothing
• Cons: worse experience ever
