Went to the restaurant and the club...I'll start with the restaurant. (BTW, the restaurant gets 4 stars...the club gets 0)
The decor inside was gorgeous, it felt very intimate with low lighting, and tables set waaaay too close together. But trust me, three glasses of wine later, you won't even notice that you can hear every word out of your neighbor's mouth, and presumably they can hear yours.
The food was delicious! I had the spaghetti and kobe meat balls (spaghetti and meatballs, my favorite!) well, the portion was HUGE, and I guess it better be, considering the $34 it costs. Even being the noodle whore that I am, i couldn't even finish half of it. I did manage to eat about two of the giant meatballs though, and they were good.
My friend had the veal parmigiano, and it too was good. Covered in good melted cheese, and spicy marinara.
We also had the fried calamari as appetizer, and it was delicious. Fried just right, with good spicy marinara. They also served us garlic bread, which was to die for, except some bites were overpowered with too much butter (what, such a thing?) and cheese. Otherwise good. I would go back just for the bread (because I'm a bread whore too, remember?)
ON to the club then. So because we ate at the restaurant, they wave the cover, and let you by pass the line. We went back to our rooms for a bit, and went back to the club at around 1. Ha, line pass? No need, there was no line! Anyway, we went in right away, through this maze of a path, and ended up god knows where, and it was just horrific. It was so small and crowded! Also, I was about a foot shorter than everyone there, and I felt like a child (I'm 5'5", btw, I should not be feeling like a child anywhere!)
The music was rap (probably my least favorite), the dance floor was so small and crowded, and I felt like I was suffocating! I think at one point the dj threw money into the crowd- let me specify, he threw DOLLAR bills into the crowd. No way in hell I'm bending over to pick up a freakin DOLLAR in such a crowded dance floor in a dress!

The sink was full to the brim with dishes, so my roomie and I decided on take-out. After much searching we found Chen's Chinese- which delivers. We ordered the dinner combo with hot and sour soup and sweet and sour pork. And a side of lo-mein.
They said it would take about forty-five minutes to deliver, and the delivery guy came at exactly forty-five minutes. It was amazing. When we saw the portions, we were flabbergasted- there was so much food! And all for about $17!
The sweet and sour pork was not that great, and neither was the fried rice, but the lo-mein and soup was so good! And there is so much left over, we have enough for two more meals, probably.
I'm sure I should be giving them less stars, because it wasn't the best food ever, but I'm such a noodle whore, and the lo-mein totally hit my noodle crazing spot. I would go back fo sho.

Had their burgers for second time tonight. It was good!
The first time I went with my roommate, we both got combo #1- BIG MISTAKE, only because it's way too much food. Is there such thing as too much fries and too much hamburger? Yes, apparently so. And I'm not some teeny stick of a girl who eats like a bird. I mean, I practically inhale french fries.
The second time, we decided to share combo #1- perfect. Well, we still had left over fries, and I was absolutely full from the half cheeseburger.
Onto the food now- it is delicious! A nice thick meaty patty with a good layer of melted cheese. YUM! Get the seasoned fries, the regular fries are a little boring.
It's in walking distance from my apt, so I pretend all those calories have been worked off.

Even before I start writing, I'm seriously craving their spaghetti and kobe-beef meatballs and garlic bread.
I realize spaghetti and meatballs are kind of a hard dish to screw up (unless you're Denny's), but it is my go-to Italian dish, seeing as I'm lactose intolerant, and dislike vegetables with a passion.
I had an excellent experience dining by myself, drinking my glass of cabernet, making eye contact with the hot guy across the restaurant, and enjoying every bite of my food. What's more, I had ridiculous amount of left over food, which I was able to eat as a midnight snack/breakfast thanks to the handy plastic utensils my waitress got for me.
I'll definitely go back.
