There's no way to describe the visual presentation and interior design of Tentation other than to simply deem it amazing. From the 48-foot long waterfall that spans the onyx bar to the cool primary hues that bathe the entire space, this minimal South Beach-esque club ranks up there as one of Orange County's hippest nightclubs in the last 10 years. Of course, when a club is as extravagantly designed as Tentation, you can expect a few things: The cover charge is going to be steep -- expect to drop $20 a head here. Drinks: Tentation bartenders mix 'em strong, but you're going to pay the price -- literally. Martinis average $12 and if you have to ask the prices of the bar's champagne list, you probably can't afford to buy a bottle. As for music, listen for surefire hip-hop and dance hits -- the house DJs play it safe, but it also ensures that the dance floor is always going to be hot and hoppin'. The clientele is almost all from south Orange County, well dressed and in their late 30s to early 40s. The crowd isn't snobby like one might think, but if you're low on cash, Tentation might not be your temptation.

nice decor but small place

this place is very trendy, older crowd, expensive cover and expensive drinks. many people are there for the scene instead of to have fun. if you want to sit and listen to loud music and all night save yourself some money and go somewhere else.

Waste of my time and money

Got there early to get a barstool but at 9:15 it still wasn't open. The door guy said to have a drink next door and come back in 15 minutes. Went and had a drink and went back in 25 minutes. Guess what..still not open. They didn't open until close to 10 so I paid my 20 bucks and guess what...no barstools like the website shows. So I order a Bacardi and coke (8 bucks...the going price) but the code is flat and it makes the drink taste nasty. It must be a late crowd but I was killing time by watching Scarface on the monitors but when it got a little slow I started listening to the music. Some kind of calypso house junk. Well, I saw all I needed to. Went to Sutra.
