Stingaree 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 crab risotto with sweet summer corn; smoked duck with a whiskey cherry sauce; and smoked jidori chicken. Dress to impress at Stingaree, which is done in ultramod 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 beef sliders or lamb meatballs from 5 to 7 PM Wednesday to 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.
