    You have to know what you are looking for or use GPS to find the Pink Door. It has a speakeasy feel to it. Loved the ambiance and everything about the place. We ate in the lounge where the entertainment was, which was great. For a more formal experience try the dining room at the back. It has the views. The Pink Door offers a wonderful evening of food and entertainment. Our server Dina was great.
