Came here once a few years ago and enjoyed the ambiance and live music, so I had wanted to come back since then. When I finally got the chance I was more than disappointed.
Came on a Saturday night -- parking was impossible. The lot across the street had a $6 sign, but when I went to the site to pay, it was $40+! For one hour only!!! All other garages and lots were also expensive, and no street parking nearby.
Decided to bite the bullet since I had already fought so much traffic just to get there. It was 11:15pm by this time, and the lounge closes at midnight. Paid the $5 / person cover knowing there wasn't much time left (I was okay with this, as it was my choice and the bouncer even stated it, which I was appreciative of because in the event I had not known I would have been glad to be informed).
I emailed the day prior to find out who the live musician would be the night I went. I was told they could not tell me "who the musician playing that night" would be. That statement indicates there would be live music. There was NO live music! It didn't even appear as if equipment had been setup that night -- no trace of a musician. I paid the cover because I wanted to enjoy live music, even if only for a short period since I arrived so late. This was very frustrating.
I was hoping to sit outside and enjoy the music, the view, and a drink, but the seating outside looked like it was only a half of foot off the ground (and wooden) -- not comfortable, especially in heels and a skirt.
After seeing no music, and less than inviting seating I chose not to stay. Had there been music as promised, everything else would have been tolerable, but when a business is not honest every other problem seems worse. I wish they responded to my email that there would not be live music that night, and I wouldn't have wasted so much time, frustration, and $10 for the cover.
