I have only been here once and it was just for a little bit after the Claire Sinclaire Pin Up show. But...
I love this place...being at the Space Needle a month prior I was really happy to have this "little version" in our city.
I went up after the show and I actually got to meet the lovely sweetheart Claire :)
Hubby and I ordered a couple of drinks and they were super duper yummy. Perfect! The cocktail waitress was very present and super prompt!
We are definitely going to come back on a Thursday early to catch that super duper happy hour that everyone talks about :)
I really think that the dated out restaurant that I peeped over the ledge and saw could really be something...seriously if they remodeled the place I'm sure it could be a super happening place. I would LOVE to see that happen. I'm not sure if they just make soooo much money because of the view that they do not need to do that...or it's the opp situation :)
This is a great place to get a great view of the strip and have a drink! Â It sits just above Top of the World restaurant, and you can actually see the restaurant slowly spinning below through the glass balconies, which is nice. Â Plenty of comfy seating, nice staff, and reverse happy hour starts at 10:30pm -- 2 for 1 drinks!! Â You can also see an occasional SkyJumper take the plunge off the top of the Stratosphere, which is fun to watch. Â The mint margarita is really good -- kind of similar to a mojito. Â The lobster bisque was pretty decent. Â The wings were SPICY, but good!
Review Source:The good: Delicious drinks, decent happy hour prices and an amazing view.
The bad: Terrible service! 4 of us went for happy hour, and we told the waitress before we ordered anything that we wanted separate checks. She said that because of how their system worked, it would be easier for her to split it up at the end. At the end of the meal she brought us a single check. We gave her our various payment methods and asked her to charge us for what we had ordered. She had no idea who had ordered what, so we grabbed a pen and wrote out each persons name, payment method, and a list of what they had ordered. She took the list and came back with 4 checks, but they were not split up correctly. Apparently because of how their system works, she was not able to split up 4 of the same cocktail into 2 on each check. We asked her to move something from one check to another to make it close enough, but she told us that because she had already split it up once, she would need her manager to split it up again, and her manager was downstairs (107 floors below). After waiting for the manager for a few minutes, we just paid the checks as they were because we were tired of waiting.
It would have been a different story if we had asked her for split checks at the end of the meal, but we specifically told her before we began ordering that we wanted to pay separately. Unless their computer system is really so deficient that it can't handle multiple checks at one table, she should have kept the checks separate in the first place as we requested, instead of telling us it would be easier to split at the end. Clearly, it was not. We ended up wasting half an hour trying to pay for what we ordered, and we still left having paid the wrong checks.
