but it probably belongs here instead...

"Looks like I will be here in the very immediate future - for dinner AND drinks - who has been recently and who can provide advice to what food and cocktails were the best? Looking for guidance, any tips appreciated!"

Haven't eaten there.

As I posted on the cocktail thread -- I can't especially recommend the drinks. And I've heard some more recent reports that weren't at all encouraging. Let's just say that apparently Mr. DeGroff was paid to put together a list and then walked away (and there's nothing wrong with that per se, but their marketing people pushed that aspect hard).

Thanks for the advice.... anyone else??

Same.

I thought this was sad for a place that was hyped as Gin Lane but they're on restaurant.com so if you're going to eat there anyway you can get a $25 gift certificate for $4. There are plenty of places on the internet to find a discount code to get the gift certificate for that low a price. It's good for food but not toward drinks. It looks expensive for what it is but this way you'll save something.

Turned out to be a private party. There were drag queens accumulating upstairs...

I see that for $10 not $4? How do you get it for $4? I'm willing to try the food given that their namesake drinks are not all that special...

If you go on a site like slickdeals or fatwallet, they constantly update the newest discount code for the site which give 50-60% off the certificates, there's usually a new code every few days.
