Editorial Review for Sutra Lounge – by Andrea Rademan
In Short
A massive Buddha presides over 10,000 square feet of candlelit gold, ebony and crimson dining spaces, VIP nooks and a Moroccan-style patio. State-of-the-art lighting and sound systems, and top DJs spinning eclectic music, ensure heavy traffic on the dance floor. Three bars offer premium beverages, flavored martinis and custom cocktails but they do not outshine French chef Stephane Beaucamp's eclectic grazing menu (lobster scallion shooters, shrimp lollipops, black chocolate goddess cake), meant for sharing.

This was my first time at Sutra on a Thursday night.......our group consisted of 5 girls and 2 guys.....and we know a promoter so we got to pass up the long line and waltzed right in. My first impression was that it was a lot smaller than I expected but it seemed ok, boy was i wrong. So.....i cant complain about the drinks.....because they are pretty strong.......but like I said it doesnt hurt to know a promoter. Anyway the place is extremely cramped......and the dancefloor is tiny. Not to mention the music and the people........geez.......i felt like i had just flashed back to highschool. Honestly I really cant imagine what this place looks like with the lights on........because something smelled horrible. We saw Paris Hilton and Benji Madden.......and underager Ryan Scheckler........but since when is that a reason to go to a crappy club. After two drinks we ended up going across the street to a dive bar.....which was surprisingly a better experience. If you want to have an amazing clubbing experience make the trek up to LA.....
Pros: decent drinks
Cons: everything else......

After reading so many not so pleasant reviews on this particular lounge, but I had no choice to book it because all the LA clubs were all booked that night and I need a place to celebrate my birthday. Anyway, so I had my birthday party at Sutra on Saturday. I have to say it was a busy night with long lines, but my guests and I didn't have to wait in line because we've reserved a table. The bouncer and VIP host were very friendly to myself and my guests. VIP host got me a table just right next to the bar where I could see everything going on at Sutra. Our waitress was so nice and helpful to our party. She kept coming once in a while and asked us if we need anything. Oh, forgot to mention, they even gave me a "gatekeeper" for my table. And the guy was so funny, too. I had a blast at Sutra that night. Service was excellent! Music was great! People were hot! I will definately go back again soon.
Pros: Great place for party of 10+ and Great service
