Just be warned superclub either is super impressive and cool, or super disappointing and a total wash. The atmosphere is definately cool and relaxed, very trendy, and I would say the experience is more important than the meal itself. A nice place to go. And the music is good.

But otherwise the service seems very haughty and dismissive by sometimes self-absorbed servers and at worst arrogant personnel who know too little (or refuse to give it up). I am told it used to be much better in the past, but I would not know. The food seems to have a bit of a mass produced feel, but it certainly is not bad (even good), but also certainly not worth the cost (especially in such a price and value conscience country).

I was really surprised by all the noveau-riche atmosphere, but all in all it's a pretty cool place. Probably will never go again though, as I can never think far enough in advance to make reservations so far ahead of time (the two times I went was with others, so did not have to worry).
