The best idea I had, was to model dishes after a couple of the las vegas hot spots.

I'm curious, why you would do this?
Is the Vegas market representative of your prospective patrons? Is your area similar to Vegas? Are you going to allow gaming and stripping in your club?

This seemed to make sense to me, Vegas has arguably some of the best food in America. Why not copy off an already good thing, it really doesnt have anything to do withe gambling/stripping in Vegas anymore.
To Diablo:
Yes we have money, not enough yet Im sure, but we will have enough eventually.

To everyone:
Yes, we will have super hot cocktail waitresses, and Id like to get good, old school, bow tie wearing, listen to all your bitching, bartenders.

As far as the naysayers, I have family that owns abotu 35 Italian restaurants around St. Louis (where the bar wil be), and th midwest, and my uncle (the one who owns it), has told me since I was knee high to a duck, the people who say you are not going to make it in teh restaurant business, are the failures, the ones who tried, and couldnt hack it. I have gotten a lot of negative reactino from people in the business, but hopefully with his tutelage, we will be alright.

okay, after reading this old StLantny post I'm convinced guids is the same guy, as Stlantny stopped posting on 10/16/05 and guids registered on 10/24/05. Not that this is any significant relevation, as I'm not sure there was an overwhelmingly good reason to ban him in the first place. I'm just trying to insert some drama here.


ps. found the reason he was banned here.

That was funny, they could have been in serious trouble after he changed his undies.

You need to travel more. Vegas has a small number of fantastic restaurants, that is all. Most are average if not sub par, and most of the big name restaurateurs who have places in Vegas are actually licenses run by the casinos. Its always close, often very good, but never as good as the real thing.

Back to the topic, think 1950's martini lounge. White jacket bartenders (mixologists) with bow ties catering to the mid-tier who think they are the high end consumer. Add a decent tap pas menu and impeccable oak/leather banquettes and you might have a good formula. If you need management, steal from the best in NYC & LA. Rely on experienced people for staffing and buildout... don't do it yourself.

You ever eat at Sydney Street Cafe? That is pretty much the only thing I like in St. Louis.
