I just went to Dennis Foy's on Saturday night. The food was decent, but service was slow from start to finish. The restaurant was not killer busy. Our party was complete 10 minutes after the reservation time for a 9pm reservation. They hadn't given our table away or anything, but it inexplicably took another 15-20 minutes for us to be seated. We had to ask for menus. We had to ask to place our order. We had to ask if we could order wine. We had to ask for the bread basket....do you sense a pattern here? A glance around the restaurant showed that other tables had menus on them for way too long as well. Our table seemed to have two waiters, and maybe they were confused as to which one was actually manning our table. All in all, a disappointing birthday dining experience. The decor reminded me of a house in the 'burbs in the early '90s, with its weird pastel colors. Not worth the $80 a head we dropped. Sorry, And to top it off, one of my party got charged twice for her share.

If Robert's gets a star, then there is no way in hell Kobe Club should get zero. I've been to Robert's and had a $50+ strip that, while impressive looking, tasted slightly spoiled. One star my ass!

Everyone's loving Kefi: Meehan, Underground Gourmet, Restaurant Girl.... I don't get it. Did the regular kitchen staff have the night off when I went? http://scoboco.blogspot.com/2007/02/kefi.html

The Penthouse Executive Club is one restaurant that has no need for a childrens' menu :)

If Bruni's three friends were of the same, ahem, persuasion as he is, it must have been the only time the Penthouse joint hosted a bunch of gay men :)
