If you havent had a chance to see their burlesque show or enjoy one of their amazing cocktails you definitely are missing out. Glad there is such great entertainment here in new jersey and not only in the city.

DO NOT EAT HERE — THE OWNER IS ABUSIVE TOWARD STAFF, CHAUVINISTIC, AND DISCRIMINATORY
I rarely write negative reviews, but after hearing from multiple current and former employees — which confirmed my own observations — I feel compelled to speak up.
The owner has demonstrated clear favoritism and discriminatory practices. Female employees are reportedly paid less than their male counterparts, and paydays seem to depend on the owner’s mood, with only his “favorites” receiving regular pay. Numerous employees have left due to the verbal abuse, aggression, and toxic environment they experienced while working here.
Guests are often seated at the bar, even when tables are available, seemingly to encourage drink sales. Additionally, I’ve been told that minority guests — particularly African American and Latino patrons — are sometimes seated away from the main dining area. Staff are not allowed to freely speak with guests and are allegedly pressured to post fake five-star reviews to inflate the restaurant’s ratings.
While the food is decent, it’s overpriced and simply not worth supporting an establishment that mistreats its employees and discriminates against both staff and customers. It’s deeply disappointing to learn about the unethical and abusive behavior behind the scenes.
I will not return and have advised my friends and family to avoid this restaurant as well. Good food means nothing when it comes at the expense of others’ dignity and well-being. The owner should be ashamed of how he treats his staff.
