I am not sure why this place does not get a better rating, but maybe people have the wrong expectations. Let's start off with the price of things. I found it to be in line with everything else at The Edition. You are paying for the ambiance of a more private club inside The Edition hotel, so don't complain when you get the bill. There are two different rooms with a beautiful bar that separates the two different rooms. Each of these (3) places have completely separate vibes. The red room is in the back and for my personal taste, is not the place I want to hang too much. The bar seems to be the spot if you are single and looking to mingle. It's the place most people without a date are going to crowd. The black room in the front is where you will find the DJ and couches, think VIP lounges, for enjoying a great date sight or time with friends. Since that is my vibe and I'm not single, nor am I looking this is where I decided to sit. If you ever get a chance to meet Nihat, he will make your night extraordinary! Knowing my love for music and my personal vibe, he sat us at a great table/couch right in front of the DJ. Not only that, but you have to get off your wallet and ask him to bring the martini cart to order a drink from him. One thing to note, I definitely am not a martini guy, nor would you see me holding a martini glass on any regular occasion...but this is not a regular occasion. He taught us the history and simplicity of what a real martini is and should be. Not only that, but learning that the oldest form of marking a martini is "thrown"...not shaken....not stirred! You have to watch him do this table side for you, what a cool experience. Also, he probably is one of the most kind and genuine people to meet in life. Our main guy taking care of us was Alex, and we enjoyed him very much. He guided through the different things on the menu, which we ended up trying a lot. How else will you really know if it is worth it? I can say we loved the Wagyu Rice! It was amazing and the sushi was enjoyable as well, but the show stopper is the Wagyu Rice. I felt we had amazing service, especially remembering this is actually a night club, not a Michelin Star restaurant. The vibe and music were killer! The place was killer and the people watching may have been the best I have ever seen. This is the pace you wanna be at if you prefer an upscale, private experience with the people and vibe to match. For my personal taste I would rate this place 4.7 stars because it was that good.
