Visited the club early Saturday morning...

Visited the club early Saturday morning and it was busy...usually a good sign. The large club is nicely layed-out. When you enter, you are eye level with the large main stage extending from the back wall. Bars are to your left and right with the restroom and swimming pool entrance to your right. Staircases to the balcony and entrances to the private booths area are also on each side. The main floor is a couple steps down and there is a satellite stage on each side of the main floor. The balcony has a bar at the top of the stairs with another satellite stage. There is also a row of private booths on each side of the wall. The entrance to the executive suites is in the left corner and clearly marked. This area has another bar and very comfortable sofas, chairs and tables, and another area with private booths.

The staff it seems is "hit or miss". The valet/security/doormen were not friendly. They never uttered a "Welcome" or "Goodnight". The door girls were friendly and nice, but the waitresses seemed to be nonexistent. I was there for almost 2 hours and was never asked if I wanted a drink.

Now for the most important part...the dancers. There were many dancers (50+) ranging in looks from 5.5 to 9, with the average dancer about a 7. However, that is where the good part about the dancers ends. Just as previously been reported, if you don't go grab them you will be lonely. They don't seem to circulate or approach the customers. Even the ones not sitting with cutomers or what may be regulars, sit at the bar among themselves or hide in the dressing room. I even gave many the "look" or an indication I might be interested in their "company" and I still remained alone. When I did introduce myself to my selected dancers they did seem to be friendly and have a good attitude. I guess this is just a club where you have to make the first move. The private booths are somewhat a misconception, even in the executive suites area. They all have a wooden and 2 padded metal chairs. There is NO door or curtain. The dancer places one chair in the doorway to signify the booth is occupied and the other is in the corner with an obstructed view from the hallway. The dances were all a good value for the mileage. I did spend my ATM limit on the numerous dances I had and of course, some were more enjoyable than others. "Extras" were never offered as some have reported. Maybe that is only for regulars. I did leave smiling, but not from ear-to-ear.

The reason I did not give the club a better overall rating, other than the negatives previously mentioned, is that I left feeling dissappointed. Based on the previous reviews, I was expecting a Mitchell Brothers O'Farrel Theater experience. It was still an enjoyable visit, but with the quality of the dancers and the reported reputation I was expecting better. However, I will return without question. As always, YMMV.
