My Honest Review of Sorry Gorgeous
Now I understand why it’s called Sorry Gorgeous—because sorry is exactly what you’ll be saying to yourself for coming here. The service and standards are questionable at best, and no apologies are offered.
The view is nice if you’re into the city skyline, and the DJ’s mix was solid with great song choices. Unfortunately, the speakers sounded like blown-out subwoofers from the ’90s. Considering how much they charge, you’d think they could invest in better equipment.
The decor and couches are cute, but the layout makes the space cramped. Once the place fills up, moving around without bumping into other guests is nearly impossible.
The food? Mediocre with limited options. The drinks? Worse. They were nothing like the servers described—think grandma’s bathwater with lavender and essential oils, not a crafted cocktail.
As for reservations, here’s where it gets shady. My friend booked for her birthday, and while we only had 8 people, we were forced into a $500 minimum (even though their policy said 10). To make it worse, they don’t allow split checks. The bill couldn’t be closed out until the entire group was leaving, meaning anyone heading out early couldn’t pay their share. Strangely, when a male friend joined later, he was allowed to make a separate purchase and close out his own tab. How is that fair? On top of that, the server failed to mention the automatic 20% gratuity. She only handed over an itemized receipt after being pressed about why the total seemed higher than expected. Our group normally tips very generously—well above 20%—but by forcing one bill and sneaking in auto-gratuity, the server likely ended up with less than she would have otherwise.
Bottom line: Watch your bill carefully. This place adds fees without properly disclosing them. Between the questionable policies, mediocre food and drinks, and poor transparency, Sorry Gorgeous lives up to its name—for all the...
Read moreThis weekend was my first time at Sorry Gorgeous, and I have to be honest—the night started off a little rough. The staff who greeted us at the entrance felt cold and unwelcoming, and when we got inside, we stood at the bar for almost 20 minutes without being acknowledged. It was crowded, but no one approached us, and we were about ready to leave.
That completely changed once Bailey came over. She was absolutely amazing. From the moment she approached me and my sister, she was warm, attentive, and so friendly. She took our order, gave us space to find a spot, and even brought our drinks directly to us. She made us feel seen and cared for in a way the rest of the staff didn’t.
Bailey also went above and beyond in helping us pick out drinks—she suggested an incredible mocktail for someone in our group who doesn’t drink, and every drink we ordered throughout the night was perfect. What stood out most, though, was that she wasn’t just doing her job—she genuinely seemed to love what she does. Because of her, we ended up staying, spending a good amount of money, and having a great night.
If it weren’t for Bailey, we probably wouldn’t have considered coming back. But thanks to her kindness and professionalism, we definitely would. She’s truly an asset...

PRICING: The prices are obnoxious. The waitress had the audacity to charge me $3.00 for a soda water. She even charged me for a refill- again, for soda water? How LAME. I was charged $6.00 for a tiny bowl of popcorn. $7.00 for a "handful" of olives. Meh. FYI, the olives were not fresh and tasted like rubber. But wait, there's more! If you want chips and salsa: The cost? $19.00, for a bowl of corn chips and 3 little salsa bowls...
VIEW: The view is admittedly, awesome; yet, I can find the same view elsewhere without my pocketbook being Robbed.
SNEAKY TIP INCLUSION IS VILE: Lastly, the bill sneakily added a 20% gratuity on my bill. But, when I received the bill, there was still a spot on my credit card receipt to add a tip. I truly loathe companies that do this. It was the straw the broke the camel's back, as I know they intentionally do this to take advantage of those who do not pay attention to their sneaky tip add on.... Complete horse manure.
The service was poor overall because she knew she didn't have to work for the tip. She also looked like she had just rolled out of bed. She wasn't even trying to look like a cute cocktail waitress....She was Lazy.
Not worth...
