    I call bullshit on this place. Inconsistent dress code requirements. $13+ for drinks in a plastic cup. Very bridge & tunnel.

    To sum it up: Do not waste your time trying to get in on a Saturday night if you are black and/or it's past midnight, unless you want to be lied to about capacity & pay $360+ bottle service.

    The service was absolutely horrible. The view is beautiful. We came here on a gilt city voucher. I will never come back here and they are very selective at the door. Good luck!

    Lame crowd, lame staff, really lame, overpriced drinks for what they are - overall, pretending to be something much better than it is - a crappy bar that happens to have a view

    Amanda is the worst waitress! She won't ask your drink order until she's warmed up by the fireplace, even if u are sitting directly in front of her.
