The Scene
Padded red leather walls and disco balls surround nicely dressed 20- and 30-somethings sipping cocktails from the center bar. Servers sporting "Mad Max"-inspired costumes escort guests into the stark-white dining room as the proverbial curtain is lifted. An exhibition kitchen takes center stage, with a team of T-shirt-clad cooks making meals for a shoeless audience relaxing on white beds. Neon lights change the room's glow as clubby music pulses. Throughout the show, servers might slide down a two-story railing to dance on the bar, perform a lip-sync routine or swing from the ceiling.
The Food
There is no printed menu. The French-influenced prix fixe rotates weekly and might include a salad, fish, soup, meat and dessert. Everything is delicious, despite the scene-stealing atmosphere. A savory tapenade adds flair to a quail-egg salad while sweet chorizo tops radiant pink salmon. Chunks of apple float in thick squash soup, setting up a pork entree and frothy meringue dessert.

I did enjoy the atmospher which entailed trance-like music at a comfortable volume. Apparently show changes every evening per staff, but beware it is for adults only. Food was Vegan night!! I am not a vegiterian but even I can admit, It was a well portioned and tasty. This place is certainly not for families or conservative types. Their were two shows, one small cooky clown like performance which surprisingly turn into a strip clown. 2nd show was a swinging pole acrobatic but classy performance beautifully done with fantastic music. Music similar music to Crique du solei. Beds clean and comfortable, surprised dining in them was comfortable. I did not stay for dancing. We & many others were however over billed by $100. For 3 people, dinner was $65 plus 2 drinks each & a voz of black cherry mixed drink (which was fabulous) for $55, does not total $400!. They were overcharging everybody. Staff were kind, but one apparantly in charge turned ugly diva when we challanged bill a 2nd time!! they could not get it right. We waited more than 40mn. They did offer drinks while they refigured amt, so to not offend we said ok placed an order & then they bring us shots!! I/we make great $$ and tips well. They knew what they were doing, and banking on many that probably fell for it because they were all lit. Fortunantely we can hold our drinks, we ended up requesting they void card entirely and recalculate correctly. They took even longer. We said forget it, here $210 & we walked out. I am not a complainer, but my friend used to manage La Fondue restaurant, and she was not having it, particularly when floor manager tried to argue that we were give free drinks!! She straight up pointed it out on the receipt, and the chick sarcastically said ok, but by then my friend was insulted, and we all just pulled out cash, tossed it near their register and left.. So on a scale 1-10 entertainment 7, dinner 8, music 8,atmospher 7, serv 6, and price 8, but beware overcharges.

My guy and I were expecting a racy Cirque du Soleil-ish experience as per their website. As the cab circled the poorly lit street, we finally found the address by a door, no signage out front. A transvestite checked us in and offered to take our coats while escorting us into the bar. Fun pleather costumes on the bartenders and who quickly got us drinks and setteled in for the long 30 minutes wait, til we would be escorted to the dining room. Already the experience was more bizarre than alluring. Obese men showing lots of skin with bits of costumes and dual gendered actors in feel-me-up boxes was bizarre not tantalizing. Finally we were allowed to enter the dining room and settle into our bed. Fun just because my guy is a complete hottie and any bed with him is good! ;) Actors roamed around with varying degrees of undress. There didn't seem to be a theme to the costumes or party tricks that they were performing. We watched as the other patrons filed in and snickered when a young couple came in with her parents! (NOT the place to bring your conservative parents while they are in town for a visit! ) As the random and sometimes creepy (grown men in diapers on roller skates?!? UGH!) acts continued, they began to serve food. We were excited because the stellar view of the steamy kitchen had our mouths watering! Unfortunately, EVERY course they brought us included raw fish/seafood!!! YUK! We were not warned that this would be the case and we not given another option! We assumed we would devour the dessert as we were both famished after a long evening and many cocktails but the banana mousse they brought us was equally inedible! Burgers later for sure! We were expecting a show of some kind but it was just actors walking around doing party tricks. Great one-time experience for the bizzare and randomness but with mediocre actors and costumes and horrendous food, that was overpriced, I would suggest that you wait til later and pay the cover to enter as a club goer! Have fun!;)

The Supperclub is a great place to go for a special occasion, especially if you want something unusual. It's a combination bar, restaurant, floor show and late night club. The food is pretty good, but the drinks are better. You get to eat while sitting on couches/beds (very Roman) while watching all kinds of different performance art acts. It's edgy and wild and fun. I have a feeling that it's a different show (or variations on the themes) each night. You have to make reservations many days ahead, but totally worth it.
