Fodor's Review:

You wouldn't expect to find fine cuisine at a hip, three-level nightclub, but then you discover Stingaree. Chef Antonio Friscia wows with dishes like calamari, scallops, and prawns in a spicy ménage à trois; gourmet macaroni and cheese studded with bacon; local fish in a medley of veggies from Chino Farm; and Moroccan lamb with local vegetables and roasted potatoes. Dress to impress at Stingaree, which is done in ultra-mod tones of chocolate, turquoise, and orange. Though bottle service reigns here, the spectacular wine list ranges from reasonable labels from California and France to once-in-a-lifetime bottles such as Domaine de la Romanée Conti. A generous happy hour offers 50% off on Kobe beef burgers or harissa sautéed shrimp 5 to 8 pm Tuesday-Friday. On weekends the dining room rocks; buying dinner allows you to skip the long line and $20 club admission; be prepared for crowds and bouncers with attitude.
