My company had a party there... more

My plan was to have my birthday dinner at a what I thought happening restaurant/nightclub. I called to make reservations for my party. The next day i called to add two additional people to the list and also to move the time to 7:00 and was told each member of the party would have to pay $25 for their meal.... more
