I came here for my cousin's big bday bash and was surprised by just how delicious the food was! He had rented out the "hall" type area in the back and we had a blast dancing the night away. I would definitely come here again and sit in the main dining room.
This place was alot of fun! It's an older crowd to me (i'm in my late 20s), most of the people there seemed to be in their 40s. But the crowd mixes great together. The place is set up nicely, cozy and romantic when you walk in, loud and clubby toward the back. I went there with my boyfriend for drinks and dancing and had a blast. It was a DJ night, and the music was great. Also, it happened to be right around Halloween so alot of people showed up in costumes which was fun. Will definietly go again.
Okay new management again so let's give it a try. Basically because my favorite band was playing I brought along a table of 12.
Bathrooms were updated but no matron as promised. Maybe because reservations were down? Place was half empty and about 100 people less than my last visit which definitely made it a better dancing experience
Food was better I must say! Definite improvement from the bland food previously served. We had about 10 different items and everything was served in pretty good time. Only one waiter so he did a pretty good job dealing with all of us.
My one issue is that no one answers the phone it seems….ever.
I heard some were calling and left messages and received no call back. I did mine via FB message and email and did receive a response however someone needs to monitor the reservation system in a more timely fashion.
Went back
Got better
Will return again
It's a catch 22 first initial complaint didn't completely lay on the establishment
This is a Friday night review for Drinks and Dancing.
First off, the balcony is located in the middle of nowhere. But don't freak out when your GPS will take you through back way truck alleys, because it's actually located in the middle of the suburbs. There's valet, but don't bother because, I mean, it's the 'burbs, everyone has a driveway, there's plenty of street parking.
They have a free salsa lesson which is fun to attempt or give up and watch from 9- 10 pm. There are a few drink specials, but none that great. We got the $30 pitcher of sangria which tastes like jolly rancher…sadly that means there's barely any alcohol in it.
Overall it's a friendly environment to practice your fanciest spins and hair whips, but not the type of place to come if you are looking for a club experience. This is mostly for seasoned dancers coming to show off their skills, so pack your fancy shows in their suede bag.
Everything was bad from the beginning. Called to make a reservation for 4 for Saturday night at 7:30. Was told only 7:00 and 7:45pm was available. I chose 7:45. After giving the menu a quick look online and seeing they only had 3 entrees to choose from, I called back and asked if that was accurate. I was told their website was being updated and that there were plenty of other entrees to choose from.
We get there at 7:40 and place is completely empty (now I'm wondering why I couldn't get a 7:30 reservation?). I did read this place turns into a dance club later in the night but I did not expect it to be EMPTY. We were seated on the "dance floor" area and just one other party arrived at the same time we did. When we glanced down at the printed menu's that were already on the table I saw the same three entrees I saw online. I asked our waiter who then proceeded to tell me they had two other entrees, a pork chop special and the second one he mentioned was one that was one of the three on the menu.
Not sure what kind of restaurant only has three entrees on the menu…
Needless to say we excused ourselves and walked out. Maybe this place should just stick to the dancing and live music since i have read good things about that.
So if I could leave 0 stars or negative stars I certainly would.
Where to begin ?!?!
Arrived 7:00 ish for dinner before the salsa lesson.
No food. Why? Because the chef quit like 4 weeks ago. Think you want to change the website maybe? Think you wana let people know? Nah not important.
Bartender suggests we order pizza and so we were there for the dancing. So we order pizza to be delivered to a restaurant. Yes you read that right!
And the beat goes on. Waiting waiting. Shoulda been a sign that we were to have a bad night when the amount of people showing up were like 000000000
8:00 ish rolls around around and DJ finally shows up and after a few minutes talking to the extremely unusually shy DJ– find out from him that the class is cancelled.
But then he backtracks. Not sure. Off to bartender who confirms a half hour later when asked directly that yes in fact. It's cancelled. How did he know? Apparently I he learned from DJ.
After all that time. Of waiting for nothing! Are you kidding??? We were hot. Pissed. No manager in site no owner in site and bartender is wanting to comp our third drink. Not the first two. Say what?
Oh no never again. Off to Euro lounge.
Where we had a way better time. And danced thank you.
RETURNED that evening, glutton for punishment. Wanted to check out the dance.
Three girls twerking. 20 people in the place most of them employees. Bartender and se guy who earlier said we shoulda called in advance to see if they were offering food, finally apologized.
The story just got worse and worse. Supposedly this guy was friend of owner and bartender is related to owner. Who th f knows. Horrible horrible experience.
Where are the 0 stars Yelp!!!
Nice place overall.
Parking sucks, my friends and I got a ticket because we parked on the street. They do have valet though. I never tried the food but the drinks at the bar were pretty good. It was packed when i went there on a Saturday night.
I would never go back though. Maybe if i was 40 years old. This place is for an older crowd. If you are under 35 years old… do not come here. Unless you are hunting for MILFs, looking for a sugar daddy or just enjoy old men creeping on you all night . Beware you may see your friends parents here
