by Cesar Ulrey on Parking: $5 valet is an option but it's relatively easy to find street parking, street parking recommended as it's free after 8pm. Venue: Dark, kinda dingy, very stiff and uncomfortable seating. Talent: We came on a Friday night ("Refried Fridays," a.k.a. Latino night) for a 10pm show and had the chance to watch 8 comics perform. The host was lame, only had jokes about how he was a black-Mexican mix, and either forgot or couldn't properly pronounce the name of half the comedians performing that he had to introduce. Weak, very weak. There was a comic who looked almost exactly like Hugo from Lost who was funny, high energy with solid material. The big black female comic was also pretty funny. The best comedian of the entire night was a young white comic, Kyle Fincham, who had a hilarious set with creative material. Everyone we sat around laughed the hardest during his performance but it was all downhill from there. We got up and left when an obnoxious, annoying white Canadian comic started talking about fisting nuns, fucking 90-year-old women, fucking a retarded girl, etc. There's funny crude comedy and then there's stupid, unnecessary, talentless "crude-for-shock-value-alone" comedy and he was definitely the latter. Food: 2 drink/item minimum. My girlfriend and I had 2 waters ($5 bottles of Fiji), a weak cocktail ($9) and a plate of cold, soggy, disappointing nachos ($9.50). An 18% gratuity was automatically added to our bill (FYI it's automatically added to EVERY bill, regardless of party size). Overall I was disappointed with the experience and probably won't be back. Maybe I went on an off-night but watching one awesome comic, 2 good comics and a bunch of mediocre/just-plain-bad comics from a horribly uncomfortable, weirdly shaped wooden chair while trying to choke down cold, congealed nachos just wasn't worth my time or money.
by Eugene S. on Reminds me of the casino in Oceans Thirteen minus the slot machines. Came here for dinner because Celadon was closed(remodeling i think), Bella stopped seating and closed early because it was "slow"(it was barely 9p.m), and Parc just offered a "Summer Time" bar menu that just had appetizers. The dinning room was nice and open. Very decorative. Sat in a booth big enough for 8 people(it was just me and my roomie) and next to a party of about 15 people right in front of us enjoying chocolate fondue. Sucks to be next to a group obviously having more fun than you. Anyways. Food was alright. Overpriced for what i had. White Fish with avocado mousse and pepper compote that tasted like out of a can. Roomie had the duck, which was good but came with crepes?! The Staff was attentive and on point. Seriously met about 6 people that worked there throughout dinner. Almost annoying but my water glass stayed full. Surprised to find out they own the whole building. Anxious to experience the sushi bar upstairs, but i wouldn't want to be caught dead in their club.
by Lamont Benwarc on Not bad, but definitely not memorable even though we were treated pretty well compared to some of the stories here. If "no complaints" is the best thing I can say then, given the choice, I'd choose somewhere else. It's not so much *harlot, seductive temptress* as it is *eh, I'm here, you're here, there's a dark corner, why not.*
