"Located on the third floor of the Four Seasons in Downtown, it’s not possible to simply stumble into some trap door that leads to Bandista. A host with an employee keycard will scan you into a private entrance to a bank of elevators that leads through the back of a kitchen. Then, once you're in the lounge, you’ll get a secret code to punch in to unlock a door behind a bookcase. And the show doesn’t stop there. There are over-the-top illustrated menus, drinks served out of glass skull decanters, and a bill that costs almost as much as a hotel room. Make reservations for only the most special of nights, if you recently came into possession of a gold bar, or want to impress someone who loves escape rooms." - Chelsea Thomas
