This is a review only for the club/lounge part. Got here around 10:30 and it want crowded or anything. There is a mandatory valet which works out cause then you don't have to walk far haha. The place was lit up in purple and blue and looked awesome. As it started getting later more people starting coming. The drinks were strong for sure and the music was great! I'm glad I chose this place for my birthday. I was definitely skeptical at first because it's in the middle of nowhere but props to them!
Fyi if you're complaining about the crowd being "too jersey" what do you expect, you are in fact In New Jersey morons.
My husband brought me here for drinks and appetizers on a weeknight. We sat at the bar and enjoyed a few drinks. The lemonade martini was great, and the bartender whipped up a second drink for me and that was even better. We ordered oysters and calamari, both were excellent. A little pricey though.
I've been here a few times for dinner and the nightclub. The food is amazing. I have not had a bad experience yet. I hope you got deep pockets because the steak is not cheap. I came on a friday night and it was a little on the busy side. Food and drinks took awhile to come. Fortunately, we had time to burn. Overall, I will still come back because the friendly service and the food can't be beat.
I really don't have anything much. This review is simply for their bar/lounge. I've never been in their restaurant but decor looks nice there.
Anyway yeah, nothing impressive, nothing to complaint either. It wasn't that crowded that night. DJ / music was okay.
Bathrooms could use some cleaning tho', tissues were all over the wer floor. Definately needed some air freshener in there as well. But overall it was an okay venue.
I'll make this quick and as painless as possible.
Mandatory valet!- awful.
Coat check- Why charge? Not me.
DJ didn't know it's crowd.- very disappointing.
A Lot of cougars.
A Lot of childish men.
Dancers on stage- cute.
Slow service.
Crab cake, tuna salad, kobe meatballs and sushi – all mediocre style.
Grey Goose on the rocks was probably the only treat.
Welcome to the 1 star because I couldn't give 0 stars club CM.
Can I first say I've read the 2 lines "1 Star because I can't give 0" and "I wish I could give _ and a half stars" enough that I can not believe Yelp has not made these two things happen.
Now on to CM you filthy bastards. I got dragged here. I'm talking argued it for days, faked sick, and threatened suicide…ok maybe not, but I didn't want to go.
Girlfriends brothers birthday.
$5 to park…ok weird.
We walk in to find out $5 at the door. "OK"
Girlfriends brother walks up and says "Oh I have a guest list get your money back"
At this point I look to my right and the manager is standing right there.
"Hey my girlfriends brother is part of a guest list party can we get our $5 each back (x4)"
"Oh man you messed up should have said that at the door. I can;t open the register"
I look over and see a 20 year old looking register and say to him "Really you can't open that? Come on her last name is the same last name as the one on the Guest list is under."
He says "Nah man you messed up."
Nah man? Yea good management. This place is a total joke. I heard that you couldn't wear sneakers. Yeah OK. The doormen had the most tired kicks out of everyone in the place. They went well with their JC Penny Suit Jackets. Get dressed in a room with light guys your pants are blue and your jacket is black.
When we finally got in…Sweet a bunch of Staten Island moms probably having an affair with their HS sweetheart from when they lived in Jersey. This was before they chased their dreams of styling hair on the Island. Back then it was on Manhattan, but Staten would be fine just for a little till they got on their feet. 15 – 20 years later…
In the 1 and a half hours I was in hell the DJ played the same two songs back to back every half hour. WHAAAAAAT. I've seriously never heard of anything like this.
I'm now upset thinking about this place.
Chris Michael;s Steakhouse… I have now been here twice, and only to drink. The first time, I went to the bar, just to the right as you enter the restaurant. The bartender was friendly, creative and we had a great cocktail.
Last night was the second time I went, and this time went to the disco. I feel like it was a great place to people watch… Eclectic group of people. The music was good, the drinks stiff, but didn't see a lot of people dancing, which was the reason for going. I'd like to try it again, maybe on a Saturday night.
This review is for the restaurant only.
If you're an old business guy looking for something similar to (but not quite) a classic NY style steakhouse to impress business associates this is the place for you. The dark wood paneled walls, and mandatory valet parking will make this place seem more impressive than it is.
Me and a friend decided to go out for an impromptu dinner and drinks on a random Monday night. I was forced to valet my car even though nobody was there. When I asked if I could park myself somewhere the 16 year old parking cars told me to park across the street at K&G (I should have left right there). Rather than take a chance of getting my car towed I reluctantly left the car with the valet. We were one of three tables seated. Our waiter had zero personality. When it was time to order he comes over and goes 'what do you want'? WTF!
I decided to order the kale and quinoa salad with grilled chicken. Just beware if you add grilled chicken to a salad they used a lot of curry seasoning on it. I like curry but I know not everyone does and the menu said nothing about it. My friend enjoyed her risotto. We decided to order dessert. Our super awesome waiter practically threw the dessert menus at us. We ordered the drowned ice cream which was supposed to be vanilla ice cream, espresso and a shot of liquor. What we ended up with was some weird crunchy ice cream and the waiter splattered espresso all over my friend as he poured it over top. Not once did he come over and question why we didn't touch our dessert. And he never apologized for spilling espresso everywhere.
While we enjoyed our meals, the service and valet parking completely turned me off. There are much better options in the area.
