Horrible experience right off the bat. I reserved the mezzanine for a party of 35 to find out they double booked the spot. I was informed that we could share the spot but the existing party was NOT having it and coughed up an attitude. I was told the existing party would be there til 12 but they ended up squatting all night. Management did not do a damn thing and I did not want to ruin my birthday so i let it slide. We made the most of it by spreading out over 6 tables but still, the service was horrible and the crowd was rude.
If you decide to get a large party together in Santa Monica, go to Yankee or Ma'kai. I'm sure they wouldn't screw you over like Barney's did to me!
