Not only did we get lied to, the bouncers told us they are open till 3 am and let us buy a bottle at 2:30am when they actually close at 2:30. They said sorry for buying a 350$ bottle 10 min before we close but we won't let you drink it.. I understand that we got a table and were willing to pay extra for bottle service but when we pay extra for nothing that frustrates me. It was disrespectful and they laughed at us which made it even worse. I liked this place but they lie to make money. It's sad. I won't be coming back.
Are you asking about the restaurant or the bar? I must ask because the restaurant is more than satisfactory! I am not saying it is perfect by any means, but I was satisfied with the restaurant experience every time. Last time I went for dinner I ordered the reuben (what? Tom got the reuben? He's so stereotypical! Maybe I should have gotten a burger, there is a reason why burgers are the quintessentially American food, and at a place like this you can't go wrong with the burger, right?), but the reuben was just fine. I also noticed, the first time I visited (nearly 2 years ago!) that they had "white bean hummus" on the menu. Excuse me? Hummus is ALWAYS, made from chickpeas, yet you dare refer to that fart-paste as hummus? But I digress... I could happily dine here again, yes the service was somewhat slow/unresponsive last time, but I am patient.
My problem is with the nightlife setup. Great restaurant, terrible bar. First off, the music was too loud. I don't care for settings where the music is too loud to talk or even hear over. Maybe I am some kind of "freak" but I prefer to have a comfortable conversation, not a setting where I am surrounded with sweaty feral humans whose ability to communicate verbally has been negated by the music volume. I don't get it, what's the appeal? Unless one is deaf, or otherwise aurally impaired, I don't see the appeal. Were I able to communicate with sign language (and relatively insensitive to painfully loud music of mediocre-at-best quality), I probably would be able to enjoy such an experience. I do not like being disoriented by deafeningly loud music combined with poor lighting, nor do I enjoy being limited to grunts, wild gesticulation, and pheromones like some wild animal, or attempting to communicate telepathically. Maybe I have some degree of Asperger's but I just don't get it. Also, the bar surface was all wet and sticky. Spilled drinks are inevitable, just clean that $hit up!
Lobster burger is Awesome!. Had the lobster burger and I really enjoyed it. The sweet potato fries were good but over hyped. Also tried the Mac & Cheese which was excellent.
Fun place to watch the Michigan game. Wings were good. Nice beer selection.
SUMMARY:
The bar SUCKS! (Unless your idea of a good time consists of MDMA, strobe lights, and NGST-NGST-NGST-NGST music.)
The restaurant is EXCELLENT!
Giving this 1 star because I can't give it 0. Management does not communicate expectations to the staff effectively. I called in advance of a Michigan game day asking if they take reservations in the lounge; the employee on the phone said they take no reservations but she suggested that I show up 1 hour before the game starts to get a seat in the lounge. The next day, I show up early for the game as told, and come to find out that the entire lounge is reserved and I wouldn't be able to watch the game. NOBODY at any point tried to accommodate me or provide an alternative solution to keep me as a customer. I received two different answers from two different people about the same situation. Everyone needs to be on the same page at any organization. Needless to say, I'm taking my game day dollars elsewhere.
