Decoy Lounge

I really want to like this place. Fool me once shame on you...fool me twice shame on me. I went here on Saturday 9/8/12 for a birthday party. Our party was seated to the left directly below the air conditioning vent making it probably the coldest part of the room -Strike 1.  

I ordered a chicken quesadilla that took 30mins and 3 inquiries before it arrived - sans silverware. I had to flag down a security guard for that. Strike - 2.

No sooner than I had finished my food the bill arrived....? All I had to drink was water -- I wanted to order a glass of wine (or two)..but the service was so lacking in this place. (Ironically  - the gentleman who came and sat at the table behind me..received far better service. Within 10mins of placing his order he received his food.)
After another 20mins I ended up taking my bill to the bar to pay - but I could have just as easily left without paying and no one would have noticed. Strike 3.

I brought this to the attention of the manager as I was paying my bill. Unfortunately this experience mirrored my 1st one from 2010/2011 on Wednesday - Karoake night.

You can go here and listen to the music but please don't expect stellar service from the wait staff as they are limited in number. The bar didn't seem to fare much better either. I can't say that I'll be back on my own dime.

This place is great! The food is delicious and the drinks are good (and strong) if that's how you like it. Karaoke is a blast and so are the bands on Fridays and Saturdays. I believe the cover charge for karaoke night is $5.00 and $10.00 on the weekend. The service can be so-so depending on who is your server. But overall, you will have a good time here, despite the outdated look.

I feel so indifferent about this place.  The decor is a little outdated.  Well there's no doubt about it. It's extremely outdated. Something like a time warp.  
What can one expect for this old outdated hotel.  

I've visited several times for lunch only.....

The food is pretty delicious. I would probably give the food at least 3 or 4 stars.  The creamy crab soup is the best I've ever tasted... great chicken sandwich, tuna melt, and salmon.... slightly overpriced for a bar food menu..

So I've never actually experienced the actual lounge concept of this place( as in after 5).    It's a nice size, which is good for large or small gatherings.
The bar is pretty large and there is a loft area that seems perfect for small private functions.....
amongst locals -- this place is a hit, especially on karaoke night...
