If you?re down about the slipping economy, go to The Sitting Room! The price for appetizers vs. the miniscule amount you get, will take you back to the dot-com boom when people had money to burn! Or maybe you?ve always dreamt of being a starving artist in Paris but can?t afford the trip? Go to The Sitting Room! Ten bucks will give you that pauper feel with three little pieces of cheese and five tiny pieces of bread, (asking for butter or olive oil put our uber-trendy female server over the edge).\r

What about a date going bad? Finish off the night at The Sitting Room ? music so tasteless and loud; the sound of your girlfriend whining at you for the umpteenth time will be sweet relief to the Euro-trash techno. (The next time I went to The Sitting Room, the music was so loud even our server had a pained look on his face as he tried to take our order. We asked if he could turn the music down, thankfully he and the bartender obliged - until later, much to my amazement the owner arrived and the first thing he did was turn the music up! When we asked our server about the noise level, he apologized and explained that the owner likes it lively. I can only assume the owner doesn?t need customers?) \r

Being the forgiving masochist that I am, I tried The Sitting Room one more time. The issue was a drunk woman next to us, wailing over having just been dumped and left there. I can only assume her boyfriend knew she?d be loud and was looking for the perfect place to camouflage her noise? I still recommend this place though; to people I can?t stand. I like knowing where my enemies are so I don?t run into them!\r
Pros: live out starving artist fantasies
Cons: expensive, loud, shrill atmosphere
