Sutra Lounge

Fancy dining and middle-age dance club

Review Rating
I came here last weekend with some friends for a fancy dinner to celebrate nothing, and it was pretty cool. Sutra is fairly fancy upscale American food - fancy $25-40 per entree steak/fish place with a high-price/not-so-much food steez.

The waitress wore a short skirt, but after she mentioned she had a 20-pound cat and had photos of it on her phone, she refused/ignored my repeated requests to show me the photos. This is not the kind of service I expect from a high-end dining establishment like this - it wasn't like I was going to stalk her or do anything creepy. I just wanted to see the 20-pound cat, which would have been the highlight of my night after finding out the cute English girl that came along with us for dinner was going to get married in a few weeks (rightonbro is a sucker for English accents).

This place turns into a nightclub when it gets late, so we got kicked out of our table after dinner because we decided not to opt for the $300 bottle (for mid-level stuff like Absolut) service. Age range here varied widely, including 40s or perhaps maybe 30s who didn't age so well. I am not the clubbing type so I can't really comment on the quality of the club except to say there were lots of people there and the music seemed contemporary enough.

Hmmm. Worth trying for you, me personally would not return.

Sensually furnished with Oriental rugs, exotic hanging lanterns, and an abundance of pillows and drapery, Sutra Lounge is a haven for relaxed living. DJs spin rhythmic mixes that have folks moving towards the dance floor, and talented performers liven things up occasionally. Banquettes and private rooms invite clubbers to languish as they enjoy a cocktail or glass of champagne, and an array of... more

We're speeding down the freeway to Costa Mesa and what an O.C. friend has assured me is the hottest restaurant in Orange County. He must be right, because when I called to make a reservation a few days before, the reception had all the tiresome 'tude of the restaurant of the moment. If we wanted a table, we'd have to pony up a credit card number with the understanding that if we were no-shows,... more

Sutra is hands down the best place to go on a friday night. There's always good music going, exciting themed events, the staff & promoters are always accommodating even if you come in late and want a table, the drink selection is fantastic and it won't break the bank!!!

Pros

+ Great Music, Beautiful Club, Good looking Crowd

Cons

- Can't think of any!

This place is so hot! As close as it is to Newport, it doesn't have the stuck-up Newport crowd. I love coming back to Sutra b/c they always have awesome djs who know how to mix music and cute bartenders who serve drinks right! I don't mind paying for drinks b/c you can get in free on the guestlist before 10:30. No cover, no hassle, no wait to dance the night away! I will definitely be coming... more
