    The atmosphere was good, our waiter was wonderful, the food was very tasty, DJ was spot on, the drinks were top notch, prices were reasonable. I just didn't like that the already charged tip is not visible for you to see, so if you don't ask, you won't know until after you have paid. If I double tip, I want it to be by choice, not force!!!

    This is a bar/club not a fine dining restaurant. The space is cavernous, like your high school gym painted black. The lighting was too bright, like a Food Lion. The server was very nice and attentive. The food, at $30-$45 per entree was served with plastic/disposable utensils tucked in a plastic pouch with one paper napkin. The food was mixed. The crab stuffed egg-roll was tasty with lots of crabmeat. My lamb chops were pricy, a little tough, oddly spiced in an Old Bay meets marmalade way. I ate fast and headed home ASAP. ***ALERT: an 18% tip is automatically added to every check but you can’t see that when they bring you the electronic check. So I was ‘tricked’ into leaving a 38% tip which is only clear when you get the printed receipt. I cannot recommend this restaurant.

    I had reservations at 9:30 and they did not have my table ready. There was a party sitting at my table and the hostess told me that she did not know when they was getting up therefore I couldn’t sit down until they left. I waited for 30 minutes while other parties were being seated for their reservations until I eventually left. That was my second time going and the same thing happened to me the previous time.

    I paid over $200 for a meal and had to eat said meal with plastic utensils. That pretty much sums up my visit.
