The food was barely passable (the paella was dominated by the flavor of sausage grease and the ""iced"" coffee melted all the ice before it was served). Everything else was disappointing. The host was a charming, fun guy, and it went downhill from there. Part of the bar was barricaded by a group of women on sofas eating dinner around a coffee table -- sitting at the only available bar stools would have involved walking between at least 3 people and their entrees. The server was snotty -- in fact downright rude with his curt ""certainly""s when we asked for crazy things like water (no, they're not serving water on request due to the drought, unless they're doing it selectively) or our check (after 10 minutes of watching him pass by). The scene is all beautiful people. Go to Samba Room to see them, but eat before you go.
Pros: beautiful people
Cons: bad service, marginal food, too much effort
