  I was invited here by a friend. So, I decided to bring my boyfriend and three of my other friends along. We just wanted to have a good time! Boy, do I feel bad about bringing them along! They don't serve hard liquor; only wine, beer and their soju cocktails as far as I know. Okay, the no hard liquor part is fine with me. Hopefully, everything else makes up for it. We ordered two pitchers (they were pretty small) of Strawberry soju and Pina Colada soju because my friend recommended it. Weaksauce!! I doubt there were actually any soju in them at all! The total turned out to be $43 for both of them. Definitely was not worth it!
  
  Soju cocktails = weak, I felt like I was drinking a regular slushie. Secondhand smoke....need I say more? Nice interior at least? Not that it matters really.....
  
  We left early and ended up having more fun at another friend's house playing Hold 'em and taking shots of Smirnoff vodka (only because I needed to finish the bottle).

  Your typical Chinese karaoke /wannabe wine bar/ cafe....
  
  Stay away:  if you are hungry, don't smoke, or can't sing in Chinese.
  
  Come: if you want to pay $$ for :(( wines, loves second hand smoke, or witness drunk Asians fighting over the bill.
  
  Really, it's not that bad....at least the waitresses are friendly.

  Spazz roomie and I decided to try this place out a bit ago thinking "hey, it's in the neighborhood and they say it's a wine bar, cafe & restaurant, so why not?."  Urban, you suck!!  Christ, I don't even know where to begin my lambasting.  First, it's not a wine bar or a restaurant or a cafe...it's a place for the owners 5 friends to hang out and talk.  Shady dealings doesn't even begin to describe the vibe in there.  
  The "waitress" had no clue what beers or wine they had, so every question we posed to her was met with blank stares and her running to the boss trying to find an answer.  After hearing the selection of wine-in-a-box we each ordered a glass.  A small water glass of wine was brought, and it wasn't even filled halfway.  Spazz roomie stared at a TV trying to forget we were even there, while I found solace in an American Spirit.  20 or so minutes into the experience, our waitress once again came over, this time with chips.  The chips were stale.  Keep piling on the shittiness of this place people!  Good lord.  
  
  I forced Spazz roomie to have another glass, not wanting to give up so easily.  Down the hatch goes the wine, bill arrives...$40.  Yup, $40 crisp clean American dollars for four not even half full glasses of red box wine.  Oh, and the chef apparently went back to Mexico so even if they could muster the strength to serve food, they can't.  I'm angry just writing this.  Grrr...time to go make some cookies.  This place doesn't even deserve a star.
