   Tables were dirty, many cups had lipstick on them, overall this place is now a mess. Just a dirty place overall.

   Poor service. No real tables to eat at. Employees didn’t car that we made reservations. Just sent us to some couches.

   I really like this place. Next time i will have to go with a group of friend's. From the pool table, ping pong and LARGE board games to the MASSIVE bar, everything one needs for a good time. Between all the fun try the unique menu. AWESOME

   Me and a group of friends get together at Slate every few months, but this particular Friday, 9/22 was very disappointing. We started out with reservations for a party of 6 @ 6pm on the lower level, but the party grew to 8 and the waitress accommodated us, by pulling a bench from another table which our waitress said would not be an issue. An hour later one of the guys who clears tables kept harassing us to give up the bench, which we were clearly still using. Our waitress stepped in and got us other chairs to accommodate us again. We started off with drinks and appetizers and were having such a good time, we decided to extend our time and move upstairs to continue partying. We were told in order to go upstairs where there was a different DJ we would need bottle service to reserve a booth. I gave my credit card to another waitress to reserve the space but wanted to pay with my debit card (which is what the second waitress told me we could do). This is where the problem started. The waitress took my card and said she had to get "approval" from the manager. I waited for her while she was gone with both my credit and debit card to speak to the manager for a good 1/2 hour before she came back and said "my manager said ok, but you can only pay for one bottle with this debit card." I was first of all offended because at this point after we spent a few hundred dollars downstairs on drinks and appetizers and had to spend another minimum of $325 just to reserve a space to hang out together, I could not understand why I would not be allowed to order another bottle, which we did want to do that night. This issue just ruined what could have been a really good night, and we decided not to spend another dime. Also, the DJs both downstairs and upstairs did not have a large selection of cultural music (reggae, salsa), and that was disappointing.

   Met a friend here before going to a show. The food was ok. The atmosphere was VERY loud that you couldn't hold a conversation. The service took a while as there was only one person working the area. Used to like this place back in the day before it was renovated.

   The music was great and the food service was good was a quick cheap meal but seating was horrible I had a reservation for 7 and they didn't have enough seats they sat me next to the dance floor and said how they couldn't give me anymore chairs and so two of my guest had to stand until we found some empty stools make sure before you go that your Gonna have proper seating if you plan to eat and drink.

   There is a great band for Swing on Mondays with a very nice dance floor! The sliders were delicious. Service could of been better ; also check your bill as I believe they add the suggested 20% gratuity to the bill.

   We had fun! At first we thought the bar too loud for our dinner. But we enjoyed great apps and some fun games.

    Nice place to hang out in group. My only issue is that the bar packages or bottle service does not offer any appetizers as part of the package. Music is always good and the crowd is energetic and fun.
