Tremendous historic building with lots of nooks and crannies to explore. The grand experience ends when you decide to partake of the boring limited menu. The person in charge assured us of a regal meal but quickly becamae a royal pain. They are not what they pretend to be here at this club.

Even for a major markdown on Groupon this was a complete throwaway of an evening. The incessant bragging of the manager coupled with a 70's style microphone that was a parade of static was the backdrop. The food tasted like it was picked off of a two day old buffet and the waiters seemed confused about what to do. The wine was no better. The one positive was not having to search for a parking spot. Regret not dining somewhere else for full price.

The women who run the propylaeum are wonderful. The person who runs the resturant karin glass is by far the worst thing about this place. She talks to much, and 90% of what comes out of her mouth is a lie. The overall experienc would be a lot nicer if she would just shut up and let the guest enjoy what they paid for. If not for her, it really would be a wonderful experience.

We did the wine pairings dinner. It was good but portions were very small. It was advertised as an 8 course dinner. There was supposed to be narration and instructions about the wines, but we were in another room and couldn't hear very well, after the first couple of wines we didn't know what we were drinking or why. Also many of the courses, although tasty, were lukewarm by the time we were served. For the stated price of $75 it was not worth it.

I saw the Groupon for their 8-course dinner with wine pairings and thought that $35 (originally $75) for a great deal for this package, so I purchased 5 certificates to take my family. The "8-course dinner" was very misleading because the helpings were sampler/small plates in size. Even more misleading is the use of the phrase "wine pairing". You were given enough for wine tasting, but certainly not wine pairing for an 8-course meal. So basically, you got to "taste" 8 types of dishes and "tasted" 8 types of wines paired with the dishes for $35. Okay, that's fair. But here's the real rub. We were given an event calendar and saw that they offer these 8-course dinners/wine pairing for $35 were listed in the events....not the $75 that they said was the value in Groupon. So Groupon wasn't a discount after all. The real kicker though is that they added 18% gratuity and 7% sales tax on the $75/per person price! They were charging taxes on the other $40 that was never a sale! They eventually took $20 off my final bill, but the other 150 diners last evening without a doubt overpaid. The wine was nice, but the food was not consistent. There were two dishes (sample plates) a beef burgundy and chicken with rosemary that could have been an MCL cafeteria selection. So for the evening, I paid $250 for 5 people to have 8 sampler plates and 8 tastes of wine. Take that money and head for Fogo de Chao

I had a very bad experience with a waiter that nearly overshadowed an otherwise wonderful evening.
The staff at the Propylaeum Club is very small, so a problem with a staff member can be a very big deal.
Our waiter was menacing from the start. He smiled with his mouth, but his eyes betrayed his extreme hostility. Nearly all of his comments were dripping with sarcasm ("Whatever makes YOU happy") and he was defensive and inattentive. Our table was served last and my 6-year-old was very hungry. I asked the waiter if he could get my son a roll while we were waiting and he told me that since we had messed up his schedule (we needed our table to be nut free as my 9-year-old has a life-threatening allergy) we would have to wait. I told him that it wasn't my son's fault that he had a nut allergy.
After that, our table was ignored. Our dinner plates were still on the table when the dessert plates were being cleared from other tables and we weren't even offered dessert. My 9-year-old asked our waiter if he could have dessert and the waiter simply smiled and walked away.
This was the worst experience I have ever had at a restaurant.
