because CitySearch.com claims O-Bar is famous for handsome waiters and A-List Gays customers (as in top-class hot gays? Alpha-male?), so our shallowness gave in. But when we were there, we were disappointed.... Yeah most are tall, buff, good-looking, but most are too clean-cut jock type (errr...) There was this artsy thin-steel grass installation on top of the bar area, and the bartender had to get martini glasses up there (glasses that stuck inbetween the steel bars) so they made lots of noises. It looked so dangerous...the bartender's hand were shaking and struggling. The ambience was nice but a little too dark. Food's great (Joan had a Lobster macaroni, never realize how yummy macaroni could be). When the bill came it was $110+ (party of four), my GOD~~! The drinks must have been $20+ each. Well both Joan and I felt very ignored there as 95% were gays. However I could see how high "quality" the customers there are, no wonder there're much pressure and obsession with youth and beauty in gay culture...because it's just so competitive.
