We wanted to make sure that we got a seat, so we called ahead and reserved a table - $15 per person, just to sit. Now, we did get there at 7:30, so we got a prime location - a table alone right behind one piano (and the AWESOME door guys made sure that no one stood in our view). Drinks are spendy, but we expected that. And remember that is will be LOUD!
There are 4 guys that rotate every hour starting at 8:00. The first 2 (Jerry Riedel and guest) spent the entire hour telling everyone that if they wanted a song to be played, there had to be at least $5 attached for each song. When people came up with less than $5 attached, they were very vocal that their song would be played when they came up with the 'rest of the money'. According to many websites, this is the 'way it's done' at a lot of piano bars. Unfortunately, the presentation was poor and this twosome came off as annoying instead of entertaining. Thankfully there was a rotation at 9:00 and Chris Nelson and guest hit the pianos. They were wonderful!! They played without demanding more money and really got the crowd going. It would appear that Jerry Riedel and Chris Nelson are the usual twosome tickling the ivories. My group thought they need to keep it that way and keep the guests out.
