Talay New York, Venue Description

Talay - The relaxed ambiance and stylish décor feature natural elements with high-tech touches. The captivating wooden entrance guarded by a grandiose pair of lion statues while a waterfall flows over an etched resin wall. Hues of reds, oranges and sooths guests with a tranquil color palate of slate grays, deep browns and aquatic blues. An array of Asian statues and artifacts procured by Veras create a modern culinary retreat in West Harlem. Each element of Talay has been carefully balanced by Veras and Rommel Macasaet to create a fulfilling experience for all of the senses. Talay embraces the mystique and culinary culture of Asia, and harnesses the excitement and energy of New York, offering exquisite cuisine and a lively social scene.

Talay's Thai-Latin fusion restaurant has recently closed and been replaced by Pancho Gringo, a Mexican eatery that's completely different in look and feel. Pancho Gringo has already been impressing patrons with its traditional Mexican menu, all thanks to the establishment's new chef in charge.

DO NOT GO TO THIS SPOT
This club was by far the worst I have ever been to in my life. The guy at the door looks you up and down before he will let you in!! Then they charge you $20 to get in which turns out to be a shoe box!!! This place was a complete fire hazard!!!!!! They said they were not a capacity but unless they were planning to sit people on the ceilings there was no room for anymore people!! It was so packed you couldnt dance, you couldnt stand , you couldnt even breathe too deep cause you might get knocked down. A fight broke out and the ghetto security were running thru the club with guns knocking people over. It was completely ridiculous!!! DO NOT GO TO THIS CLUB!! If you treasure your life dont do it!! There are so many other clubs with a more professional management and staff where you can have more fun! I will pay $20 to get into a real club, but you couldn't pay me enough to ever go to this club!!! I will tell everyone who will listen!!! DONT GO TO THIS CLUB!!!! TALAY=HAPPY LAND CLUB..

RUDE, SEXIST. AVOID AT ALL COSTS
My fiance and I tried going to Taley Lounge yesterday and after having showed our IDs the bouncer was told not to let anyone in. As we waited some man (not the bouncer) approached us and asked if we were trying to go into the club and we said yes. The man then looked at me from head to toes and said "not with those boots". I couldn't believe him!!!! He just completed offended me and my Jimmy Choo flat boots! I asked him if I had to wear heels and he said yes, and then turned his back to me and walked away. This is beyond rude. I could tell it was because my fiance and I didn't fit the profile of those who were being let in. I am a light skin Brazilian (born and raised there) and my fiance is Italian-Puerto Rican. Obviously we didn't fit their racial bias and were rejected by some excuse that my boots were not good enough. What upsets me most is that the guy couldn't even attempt to be polite about my attire. He just glanced at me as if I were a piece of trash. Now whether I wasn't allowed in because I didn't look like a barbie doll with high heels on, or whether it was because we were not of the nationality they were looking for, it was still unprofessional and completely demeaning. Avoid this place if you have any sense of self-worth.

Talay
What is the problem with these people! Talay is an awesome place to go and get your dance on! The bartenders are awesome! Yeah the bouncers can be a little rough around the edges but then again they would be bouncers, am I right? Anyway Talay is a really hot spot where now they serve Mexican food! I love quesadillas and here there awesome! So people do go by these low life losers who just happen to have a bad night and end up blaming everything on other places or people. Take my word on it the place is great!

VERY BAD BUSINESS!!!! -UNPROFESSIONAL- 8/9/09
Across the country, and trying to plan a party in Harlem. Event planner, restaurant managers really do BAD business. I can't even get them to call me back for menu and cost details, and when they say they're going to call, THEY DON'T. It appears they really don't want or need my business. Shame.... it was a party of 150 people.

never again
so sat was my friends bday..and we m,ade reservation to visit this club...i read the reviews everyone had but paid no mind....maybe this was just a one time time thing that happened to these folks. Boy was i wrong! i have been to a lot of clubs in the city and never in my 26 years of life have seen such a thing. besides the staff being rude and discusting, they let minors in with fake ID's and there were people sniffing coke in the bathroom. for a club that has an incredible "strick" door policy, it was the worse club i ever went to. deff. recomend BODY or Hudson River Cafe...both on either side of talay!

NICE LOOKING PLACE...STAFF RUDE
This week i celebrated my husbands bday at talay lounge and i have to agree with other members...the people running this place were extremely RUDE...who ever owns this place needs to handle his or her staff because they seem to be out of control, they do not know how to speak to people, the attitude is over the top, the club part forget it it's overly disorganized, my son's daycare is run better than this place ..i've been to many 5 star restaurants and clubs and i've never in my 30 years have dealt with such rudeness..and like someone else stated, forget about complaining... oh and that thing about dress code that's a total joke they had people with sneakers and baggy jeans all over the freaking club..its who they wanna let in i guess..honestly if who ever owns this place does not step up to deal with this issue i give this place a few more months to go down the drain..it's sad i have to be the one saying this I'm Dominican and the people running TALAY r also Dominican, but the truth is THE STAFF WAS VERY RUDE..A BUNCH OF NOBODIES WHO THINK THEY R SOMEBODY.. LOOKS DON'T MAKE U BUT A GOOD PERSONALLY WILL..
