Luxe Restaurant and Bar

Wonderful food, excellent drink selection, halfway service, very poor display of professionalism.... Unfortunately, service is key. I'll return when I think this has improved.

I love the food here and I'm a huge fan of the drink selection as many of the martinis are made with raw, wholesome fruits; additionally, they aren't  too sweet, and generally have the perfect liquor to natural flavor ratio. Happy hour ROCKS my socks off! Also, the ambiance is dead on for a luxurious, high-end feel: a warm, dimly lit lounge with cozy couches, classes drapes, and the integration of modern, one-of-a-kind decor to boot!

I had stopped in to drop off a resume and speak to the owner/manager as I was looking for extra, part time (may I add unnecessary) work while in school to support my ridiculous shoe fetish! This bar/restaurant is almost always busy and from what I have been able to collect they have accrued numerous returning patrons. That's why I was astonished to hear and see the manager treat one of the employees with blatant disrespect and complete disregard for customers as I was sitting at the bar attempting to enjoy my food and drink... There was little done to prevent this aggressive display from leaking to customers. In fact, I was floored by the bold nature of the manager in her harsh tone taken in front of everyone nearby. This lead me to think that the manger - whom doubled as bartender - had little concern for the customers who were forced to observe the exchange which occurred more than once - given many were drunk and didn't seem to care or notice. Shouts like "FOR THE EIGHTIETH TIME I TOLD YOU TO..." directed towards one young gal (a front of house staff member), were both entirely unprofessional and made me feel like this may not be the classy, fun environment I thought it was...

It's unfortunate that just one incident such as this can completely turn off a once loyal, returning customer. I know for certain that I wasn't the only customer staring at the bold exchange between manager and employee. I was temped to ask for my resume back, but instead I kept quiet and laid my credit card out. I waited for several minutes readying myself for payment. The manager, either too busy hollering at the employee, or chitchatting with the drunk customers opposite of me, never came back after I received my food and drink. Perhaps because I gave her my resume? She must have forgotten that I too am a customer. A tentative employee, a young man with dark curly hair, eventually made his way over and took care of my check. I hope he received part or all of the tip.

Dropped in for Happy Hour. Pleasantly surprised.

Raspberry Mojitos had the right tart from using real raspberries. The second drink I think was a cucumber martini... I'll have to check with my friend. This was also solid. No regrets. Great drinks.

Also love the staff made wine bottle chandeliers!

Love this place! Best happy hour in so county! The only time I've seen a crowd here was on a Friday night but business is steady other times and the food is consistently great -- ask about daily soups and specials but again, you can't beat their happy hour for price and selection. Check the schedule to see when live music is playing but really, there's no bad time to go.
