    There was no room in front lounge to dance as we were finishing up eating. We had to leave to go somewhere else to dance. I think that if the big table on the lounge was to be thinner and pushed back it would have given us room to salsa.

    Great environment. Very busy, reservations backed up. Food was good, drinks were good. We tipped em 20% cus we could tell the service was impacted by the big event and overflow of people.

    The food was amazing. The atmosphere was grand., as soon as I walked in the door, people were dancing at the bar. It’s very spacious and there was a ton of people lining up to go into the club. Club section so come extra early..
