Fez uptown insane door policy

  • No, I would not go back!

On Fri, August 27 my boyfriend and I were supposed to attend a friend's birthday party at the uptown location of Fez. When I arrived, I found my boyfriend standing outside. He explained that he had been stopped at the door by the manager and told that he was "not dressed appropriately." (He was wearing a black T-shirt and black pants.) I went inside and asked to speak with the manager of the club, but only got as far as the manager of Time Café, Fez's sister restaurant. She listened to our story and asked us to wait while she got Fez's manager. We watched her talk with Fez's manager in the back for a few minutes, then she returned and said, "I'm sorry, he is too busy to speak with you right now." Meanwhile, we watched scores of men clad in T-shirts and baggy jeans walk right in without any problem. At this point, we called our friend on his cell phone to explain the situation, and he opted to move his party elsewhere. Apparently the uptown Fez doesn't need certain people's business. Stick to the downtown location, where you can enjoy yourself without the nasty attitude.

Some Hints:

  • The best reviews give a clear sense of why you liked or disliked a restaurant, bar, or store. And that means details. Mention specifics dishes, type of crowd, pros and cons...
  • If it's helpful to compare one place to another, go for it.
  • Come up with clever, funny, pithy subject lines, and write in the first person.
  • Don't forget to read the user rating guidelines and rules.
