Overview

The space is almost above reproach. A restaurant, bar, lounge all decked to the nines with Arabian flair. There's even a game room with a pool table, poker board, and a PS3. Unfortunately enjoyment of it requires the mental exercise of blocking out the Hamptons mate or die crowd, and forgeting you're drinking a $9 Corona.
