Ok, just as I expected. I went there, standing for like 15 min and went home.
There were too many people, too many groups and large groups, as replied by the guy who stand outside for reservations. I don't know the name of the person who reserved the tables, ask around the people standing about flyertalk, no one responded. It can be also most of the people went there know each other beforehand, just like I said in previous posts, first timers ending up left alone. The organizer should have the courtesy at least to ask someone standing by themselves inside or outside of the restaurant if I am one of the flyertalkers.
This really sounds like the typical stereo type gay folks, groups gather around not wellcoming new comers, new comers being ignored, or only wellcome certain people base on their demographic, no wonder so many people hate GLBT people.

The two "FLYERTALK" tables were full. And we had a great time (including watching the lap dance from one of the performers). 
The host had a note in his reservations book to direct "FLYERTALK" guests to one of the two tables with such signs. Sorry he didn't see it.
It's always a little dangerous when you get free cocktail vouchers to use after an evening of drinking half-priced martinis. But, i think, we managed to avoid engaging in anything scandalous. Right, izzik?

I organize meetings and events in a regular basis, and I would never let any of the participants have to find their way or left alone wandering around don't know where to go and what to do.
