I don't know why, but XS continues to rub me the wrong way.  I've been here twice, both on Sunday nights during the summer so maybe it's because I'm not feeling the outside-only deal where 25% of the people got the memo that they can wear their bathing suits at night.  The outside is gorgeous but it doesn't make me feel like I'm at a club at all.  The \"dance floor\" or whatever right in front of the stage is too small and if you go towards the back where there's A LOT of space, you can't really hear the music or feel comfortable enough to dance because people are just lounging around.  \n\nI'd give this place one more chance simply because people really seem to love it and maybe I've just been going on the wrong nights or I wasn't drunk or enough or I need to wear better shoes.  Maybe on a Saturday.  Maybe during the winter when they actually open up the inside.\n\n2 stars because the only good thing that came out of my last time at XS was that I discovered Max Vangeli.  Even though I was in a pissed off mood and my feet were killing me, his music was awesome and made my night a little bit better.
