When you eat at "The Grill", you are suppose to get reserved seating in rows 1 and 2. "The Grill" is a flat menu, $27.50 per person and GRATUITY AUTOMATICALLY ADDED!! Yes, for 2 people, they auto added the grat and now I know why. Our server (and the house) knew they were overbooked for the evening (it said so when I looked at their RSVP list. So, our server was extremely rushed the entire evening, my drink went dry several times and I had to ask for more, my wife asked for ice twice before I stopped her and asked her specifically to "bring me one glass of ice" very directly. The appetizer was ok, the salad was small, my salmon was excellent, my wife's Cordon Bleu Chicken was under-cooked in half of it and you could see pink. We got a free desert for the undercooked chicken. The cheesecake was great. We left in plenty of time to get our seat and were told to not to worry, we didn't have to wait in line since we ate at "The Grill" and we already had a table reserved for us in the first or second row (B5 to be exact). We sit at the bar and wait about 15 minutes so we didn't have to wait in line (HEY we had reserved seats because we were patrons at their $70/couple restaurant). So, we go up and stand in line about 5-10 mins, the place is PACKED, we get up and hand them our PRE-ARRANGED SEATING TICKET, and we are shown to our table...which is filled, the guy seating us goes back and tries another table...it too is filled, and the third time, he places us in a table in the back of the reserved seating where you would sit if you made reservations at the bar. This was ridiculous, we flat out were disappointed on so many levels. I figured it out when we were leaving that the reason that they intentionally overbooked the place is the fact that John is so good that they figure most people will leave more laughing and forget about their crappy experience before, I say Nay-Nay!!

• Pros: John was absoluetly awesome
• Cons: Auto added grat, overbooked house, undercooked chicken

The place isn't what it used to be...the comedians stink

by HonestStad

It is true that Goodnight's is in disrepair...but that's never mattered since it's always been about the standup comedy there. Unfortunately for Goodnight's, the comedy has taken a downward turn also. Stay away from Fajita Marguerita Night on Wednesday's...it is nothing but hacks! There is nooooo local talent whatsoever! Just awful!!!!

• Pros: Only place to go to see big names on the weekends
• Cons: No talent hacks during amateur night on Wednesday.

Not what it used to be!

Following is an email comment that was sent to the owner's of Goodnight's Comedy Club:

Unfortunately, this is NOT GOOD FEEDBACK!

My wife and I, and a few friends came to your Club last night (amateur night) for dinner and the show. We have not been there for a few years, and it was not how we remembered it. The place was run down and filthy. My wife was quite concerned about sanitation and having dinner there.

Even the before entering the Club; one of the two outside entry lights was burned out (left side facing), the front windows looked as though they haven't been cleaned in months. There were cobwebs all over the interior. Discolored and bare spots in the paint (and this was just in the foyer)! Electrical boxes hanging off the walls!

And this is all before you even get downstairs... should I even mention the Men's restroom and the peeling floor paint, and apparently you cannot afford a hand towel dispenser!

Without writing an essay... the place was a DUMP !!!

Are you in financial distress? If not, you certainly will be soon if changes are not made. We were not the only people to notice the decay.

On a positive note, you would be a great candidate for Gordon Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares TV show!

BIG NOTE! Just Realized that CitySearch's 5-Star Grade System is Far From Accurate !

The Rating above is 4 out of 5 Stars ...if you divide 38 Stars into 13 Reviews...which is what they have,

that comes out to a RATING of 2.9 STARS .....

what's up with tht CitySearch ?????

• Pros: Comedy was Good
• Cons: The Place was disgustingly Filthy and in a state of disrepair
