    Decent club, nice atmosphere with a strip club upstairs. A lot of booths on the bottom floor and a small dance floor with almost looks like it's apart of the front booths and close to the dj. Nice set up. Clean club and clean bathrooms. Came here for a bachelorette celebration and the Bride definitely enjoyed herself. Just wished they played a little more rap/hip hop music. The Managers were very helpful and protective of his working girls.

    Masami Wagyu Beef Trio: Pork Belly, Sirloin & Cheek ($69)
    Cherylynn N.

    PENTHOUSE, WHERE THE MAGAZINE COMES ALIVE... Every wo(man)'s fantasy is to devour an epicurean meal while watching beautiful feminine curves with twin peaks and bountiful hind mounds swing gracefully around an elongated pole. Ok, maybe just my fantasy (along with millions of guys) but if anyone could make that happen, I thought the posh Penthouse Club & Steakhouse could. Gnawing on sub-par food while botox-injected females BOOTY SLAP the floor like they're tenderizing a piece of meat was neither classy nor appetizing. I'm sorry but are we auditioning for a Yay Area rap video? Self-taught, Chef Mike Ellis comes from the one Michelin starred Dry Creek Kitchen (Healdsburg) and is hoping to gain a Michelin star for Penthouse. From the pedestrian presentation, the lukewarm food, mismatched ingredients and flavors, and poor execution, it looks like they have a LONG way before they can even be considered a contender for that highly coveted star. F O O D *FOIE GRAS TERRINE w/ Sweet Potato Preserve, Brioche & Fleur de Sel ($24) - 2 STARS http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/DV1b8JEtcwLz_rXiEBwpag?select=JJlk1VIASpp3yM7gg_EwJg Failing in both presentation and execution, the foie gras terrine lacked a luxurious buttery mouth-feel. The out of place sweet potato preserve gave an odd, unappetizing sweetness when paired with the foie gras. *MASAMI WAGYU TRIO: Pork Belly, Sirloin & Cheek ($69) - 2 STARS http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/DV1b8JEtcwLz_rXiEBwpag?select=eFuTva0KfoNmvDn6wbntOg A special of the night, Masami wagyu beef is a Japanese wagyu and American angus crossbreed. Being free-range, Masami has less marbling but still possesses full on wagyu flavor. --PORK BELLY: The best part of the tepid trio but not a success. The pork belly had a good meat to fat ratio, however, was NOT braised long enough to achieve that melt-in-your-mouth texture. An acid should have been used to balance the richness not a sweet pea puree. --SIRLOIN: Underseasoned, the Masami was nothing like the ones I've had. It was slightly tough and very chewy reminiscent to sirloins I've had at middle of the road restaurants. --WAGYU CHEEKS: Properly cooked cheeks should be like butter on your tongue. These under braised cheeks were like a brisket and beef shank hybrid. Lacquering the cheeks was an overwhelmingly salty wine reduction making them even more unpalatable. *BLACK TRUFFLED CREAMED SPINACH ($8) - 4 STARS http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/DV1b8JEtcwLz_rXiEBwpag?select=AbUhz2XRg7Yig1DAbzHkbg The best part of the meal, the creamed spinach was decadent and sinfully good with the crown of crisp melted cheese. *PARMESAN & BLACK TRUFFLE FRIES ($8) - 2 STARS http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/DV1b8JEtcwLz_rXiEBwpag?select=qvINDMhGg9rRkdej353vDQ Arriving lukewarm, the fries lacked a crisp throughout and the earthy truffle essence was nonexistent. S E R V I C E From the cute Asian doorman (Hi, Andy!) to the wait service to the managers, everyone was welcoming and had a smile on their face. Although green and unpolished, the dining wait staff was friendly, attentive, and eager to please (may change if busy). * * *CREDIT CARD USERS BEWARE* * * Per our waiter, it's "company policy" to take (not look but TAKE) your ID when paying with a credit card. This made me very weary especially when our waiter was gone for a good 10 minutes with my credit card and ID. Additionally, I checked my online account activity this morning and found I was charged $3.67 MORE than what I signed for. Not a big amount but nonetheless SHADY!!! MINUS ONE WHOLE STAR. T H E G I R L S (not as pictured in promotional pics online) Nothing extraordinary that can't be found in a SF dance club (average was 6/10) but we had our favorites. Naomi, the ebony beauty had a banging body with a personality to boot; she can definitely work that pole. The engaging Cameron made my friend's bf weak in the knees with her alluring brown eyes. As for the other girls...let's just say, Joan Rivers inspired face lifts, awesomely bad frizzy hair, termite infested thigh high stockings and booty munching butt floss did not help their cause. A M B I A N C E / D E C O R Elegance meets trendy nightclub (like Gold Club), the key imprinted carpets and trio keyhole door takes you into the main entry way with a beautiful cascading diamond chandelier and luminous lighting. Dine upstairs in their 60 seat dining room with beautiful white draped booths with a stripper adorned pole (no bare boobies upstairs). Then, go downstairs to the main floor for more booty popping action while popping bottles ($295-$21,000) and making it rain with your life savings. If you come from Generation (Y) Broke like myself, you can make it rain with your lunch money. P A R K I N G Difficult street parking but valet parking is available. Penthouse: Where the magazine comes alive? Sadly, I wish my fantasy REMAINED a fantasy...

    i know...    the pic is whatever...   * 28 DAY DRY AGED 16oz BONE-OUT RIBEYE ($58)

    I keep reflecting on last night and saying "MY GAY ASS LMFAOOOOOOO"…read more First, the cons: I still don't like that black bald security guy with the straggly beard that works there, he's always specifically rude as hell to me. But everyone else is cool! Moscow Mules are extremely tasty, the latino security guy with the newsboy cap is always friendly and I adore seeing him, Danielle is a great presence, and I was treated nicely here! Hygienic, a nice ambiance, and ladies seem relaxed! FRIDAYS are indeed the best night with other friendly ladies (and some couples, although mostly women) in the audience and couples throwing cash, the ladies working are EXTREMELY friendly and sociable, so if you're nervous, don't be! Get all dolled up and put on a cute fit... the cutest one in your closet, yes THAT one, and wear it here... And bring your cash, 100$ is enough for a great couple's dance (3 songs, and you'll wish it were 5) and 200$ at least if you genuinely wanna have a great time throwing ones and turning up! (Don't be like my date and sulk about not getting a ton of positive attention if you're also not showing positive attention back in the form of tossing ones... As you can imagine, I'll probably avoid bringing him back-) I had an experience with the stripper So-So that was soooooo so incredible that I had the gayest dream I've ever had in my life and woke up the next morning ready to entirely block every man in my phone and be a rich lesbian instead. 11/10 experience Also of course shoutout to Zion, Genesis, and Eliana (Eliana is extremely gorgeous and takes great care of herself, she's fun and sassy,) and admittedly So-So's couple's dance with me and my date last night had me in a DAAAAAAZE, I was literally so faint and swooning after it that I was stumbling around like a newborn baby deer all weak in my knees. (And mind you, I was sober at that point, more than enough water and hours passed, I was euphoric!) It was like getting Snoo-Snoo'd in Futurama, hell yeah So-So! It's almost 6pm the next day and I am swooning even now! (also i forgot, i was dancing at First Fridays in my five inch heels, so i think my knees were genuinely damaged before arriving anyway, I haven't moved all day since getting home... do ur stretches yall) She was laughing to my date like "She's all faint and blushing nowwwww she doesnt know what to do with herself oh my gaaaaaad", and that hater ass security guard said "Needa take their ass HOME", like sir... you're bald and snarky... avoid being seen or heard... (he's mentioned in a previous review about shoving me once, a weirdo) And his hater energy is why its 4 stars, I was amazingly ecstatic and he was a vibe killer, and dampened the experience! but I know deep in my spirit, this place is always a hit, 10/10 and knowing me I'll end up back here in a week and a half with even more cash to throw, anyone I've taken here leaves in all smiles, i slept like a baby and awoke an almost-full-lesbian

    I can't remember having this much fun. I don't like to think of myself as old but my grandson is in…read morecollege, so I can understand if others think of me that way. My girlfriend and I have been dating about six months. As I rummaged around the internet I come across a story about The Power Exchange. It might be fun, we could go and watch people having fun, maybe play with each other a little, if that feels right. What do we have to lose, if it's to creepy we can just leave. When I mentioned the idea of going to a sex club, my girlfriend, she fired off a string of questions, "Do I want to have sex with other people? Do I want her, to have sex with other people? Are people going to be groping me? Is it just going to be guys with their dicks hanging out .... " No, No, I don't know, maybe, If it's creepy we can leave. The staff is friendly and welcoming. The main room is the size of a basketball court with a disco ball. Near the entrance under a spot light, is a black leather swing, suspended from chains, with stirrups for your feet. I motion towards the swing and ask my friend if she would like to try it? I didn't expect that she would agree since we had just arrived. Without hesitation she climbs up. She is suspended inside the metal frame with her legs far apart and her hands holding the chains behind her head. I Can't believe how beautiful she looks. I grab a nearby chair the perfect height, and sit down to eat as if it's my first meal in a month. She is laying back and allowing me complete access, while I am also able to watch the reaction on her face. What I can't see is the stream of new arrivals that have been standing behind me taking in the view. A hour later we go down stairs where there is a warren of rooms some occupied and others not. My friend and I enter one of the small rooms and spend the next hour touching every part of her. The door is open and I am only vaguely aware of other guests coming and going. The rules of the club require that you ask permission before touching and given that we are completely engrossed in each other "our guests" just watch respectfully before moving on to another room. Staff people on each floor watch to be sure no one is being pressured into anything. We devote the next hour to discover if it really is possible to fuck someones brains out. - As we got to the car my friend said let's do that again. I agree - that was the most fun I have had in years. The only thing that would make this place better is if I could find a parking garage near by that was open late
