[EX Q]: We came here thinking that it was going to be like the Oyster Bar in Palace Station and we could save the drive+wait over there. Sadly, we were wrong. The menu selection was much smaller than the other Oyster Bar, but they had a few similar items so we figured it would still work. At first, the server was very friendly and attentive. He got our drink orders right away and suggested a few items on the menu to help us decide what to order. My dad ordered the cioppino, my sister & sales guy got the recommended shrimp scampi, brother in law the fish and chips, and I had the Cajun scallops over pasta. The cioppino was cold, which is odd since all the seafood in it was overcooked. The shrimp scampi was super bland so the two people who ordered it were dumping salt and Tabasco on it just to make sure their taste buds were still working. My scallops were seasoned well, but all caked and burnt on one side. The pasta part of my dish was super bland too so I had to scrape the seasoning off of my scallops to mix in to get some type of flavor. I think the fish and chips were ok, so that makes it the best dish of the night. When the server came by, I told him that all the food was super bland and he just said ""bland? ok"" then cleaned it up and gave us the bill. In terms of price, it was pretty expensive too. Mid $20 - mid $30 range but you save $1 with the Total Rewards card. LOL. What a joke.
[EX A]: NEGATIVE

[EX Q]: Not really being a vodka drinker, I was all ready to sit in the corner with a solo White Russian and grump my way through pre-dancing drinks. Equally though, I'm a sucker for fancy-looking bottles and bar paraphernalia, so it didn't take a lot of arm twisting to get me fully into the spirit (fnar).

I started off with a quince vodka shot, which was very sweet and very tart, but delicious ice-cold. Drink it down though, because it doesn't work quite as well as it warms up. Hazelnut vodka was another big winner with the whole group; as a shot, over ice or as part of a cocktail it was really superb. I personally enjoyed it most straight-up though: boozy Nutella, mmmmm.

A Yelp check-in earns you a free shot of any of the house vodkas, which on the evening in question included skittles and fudge. Interesting.

Be warned though, double measures seem to be the default in SA's cocktails, so keep an eye on how much you're actually drinking, or your evening may be shorter than you'd hoped. Also, there's a massive TV in the bar area. Okay, it's only showing music videos, but it's hard to ignore a screen no matter how vapid the content is (and trust me, it was pretty vapid).

The bar itself is tucked away down a narrow alley off the High Street and feels very cool. I was wearing braces (in readiness for The Green Door later, I should say) and nobody batted an eyelid - it's that kind of place. That bar staff are also cool and very happy to talk vodka to the uninitiated, which I always take to be a good sign. I left with the feeling that I'd only just scratched the surface, and that perhaps there's more to vodka than I had supposed.
[EX A]: POSITIVE

[EX Q]: Penn started the show by telling us how magic isn't real and it felt like a public service announcement telling us the dangers of con-artists. The next magic trick was a very long discussion about the bill of rights with a metal detector on the stage. Then he played guitar and talked astro physics and molecules while teller did card tricks that were not visible to the folks in the cheap seats (gee thanks). The stage was blank with no flare or props so forget points for production value. I felt like I was at a political science class which is not what any of us paid for. Teller's tricks were good but of course Penn had to tell us before he did the ball and hoop tricks that it was done with a string so again, no one gets to suspend their reality and go on a journey of magic. I felt like Penn was just bitter and disillusioned (probably happens after 14 years doing the same show in vegas). Teller takes selfies with you after the show which I thought would be cool if you're a fan. I hope Penn reads this and really thinks about giving the fans what they want, which is to get out of their day to day lives and be in a place of magic and wonder and not a bitter mans political science lecture.
