A: After pre-gaming at other nightclubs/lounges, my group and I finally made it to Surrender and just in time (5 mins before the open vodka and champagne bar ended!). I was able to get in 2 drinks :D I've never been to Surrender, so I wasn't really sure which way to go in the hotel... as we were aimlessly walking, we saw the line and was trying to find the end, but one of the promoters pulled us to the front - JUST LIKE THAT! It was pretty awesome since we were on a time limit & b/c we were just walking through. I, of course told him who's list we were on (gotta give credit to him). It was FREEZING that night, so they had a tent up that night since Surrender is mainly an outdoor nightclub. The women's restroom inside the dragon room only has 3 stalls, but the line wasn't even that bad, so no problems there! The bartenders are attentive and quick to serve. I enjoyed half one of the two DJs that were playing that night. It was interesting b/c there was a DJ at both ends of the room and they would switch back and fourth. Some guys were handing out glow stick tubes that said "Surrender" on it and I managed to get one (which made my night even MORE fun - as lame as that sounds). I didn't really look at the crowd too much - I was having too much fun in my own little world I guess. I didn't have people bumping into me on the dance floor and no one was spilling their drinks on me, so I was a happy camper. A couple friends and I were able to dance on the stage, which also made it a fun night! I can't wait to go back when its HOT so I can enjoy the outdoor areas.

Q: positive

A: Love Love Love this place. The atmosphere won me over. It thunders and I LOVE the sound of rain and thunder. It's so relaxing here. You walk in and the first thing you see is a huge fish tank filled with tropical fish, right above your head...and in a tube that goes around the room. Then you see anima-tron elephants, apes and other creatures that must be fun for kids, because it's fun for me, and I was 23 at the time in 2003. I may always tell everyone I'm older, but I'm just a kid who never had that childhood and never saw things in life like this- while growing up. Late bloomer if you will. Garden burger is great here.

Q: negative

A:
We ate here on Saturday, March 10 around 5:30 PM. The coffee was cold, the striped sea bass was undercooked and the manager neither apologized nor did he take anything off the bill. He told us that was the way the chef intended it to be served. We do not eat fish that is still translucent in the center and slimy. We sent back the coffee and both entrees. They misunderstood my boyfriend and brought him another Sea Bass entree which he felt was average to below-average. He didn't want to wait for another entree to be ordered so he went ahead and ate the meal. I ordered a new meal - the salmon and it was average to below-average. It was still a bit undercooked for my tastes, but we were now running late so I did not have time to reorder or be fussy. The second cup of coffee was freshly brewed and it was hot. We sat outside in the patio area - on the most uncomfortable chairs I have ever sat on in a restaurant. My legs were numb before we were even served. We would have moved inside but the evening was so beautiful we wanted to enjoy the fresh air. The chairs must have been chosen for their looks because they were cute but obviously no one cared to try them out before purchasing them. I have to admit that the decor inside is beautiful and the chairs inside are comfortable. I have spoken to several people who have had very similar experiences at this restaurant. We will not be eating at this restaurant again due to the horrible food and very poor customer service on the manager's part. With how long it took to order and reorder everything it put us behind for the events of the evening.
