OK, so I'm in Miami for work... staying in the Marriott in South Beach, with a balcony overlooking the ocean beach... it's pretty sweet. We went to dinner last night at a steakhouse called The Forge, which is a super-fancy place with delicious food, riddled with hookers. Er, not that the food's riddled with hookers... the steakhouse is... anyways.
I had their specialty steak, which in 2005 won Wine Spectator's Best Steak in America. Also had some french fries with white truffle oil, some asparagus, some really good crab, and a number of other random deliciousnesses. Ohhhh, a Belgian chocolate souffle, too. Yummers. All told the bill for the 5 of us must have been like $400 or more... thank you daddy Accenture! Though we've earned it from the hours we've been working. =D
Anyways. They had an ADDJ playing some random mix in the restaurant, since apparently around midnight it begins a slow morph into a club. The music was great, though I swear it's almost identical to music I've heard at Slide in SF... perhaps both DJs bought some 3rd DJ's CD and were just faking spinning while they were up in their booth.... reminds me of that weird time in Santa Cruz when that DJ was "spinning" these tunes from the 1940s... I think he had an iPod on and was grooving to something else entirely. Anyways.
The point of all of this was to provide a pre-ramble to this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZ9jPyZtl2E. Man... Love that song.

If you had such a fantabulous experience at this riddled with hookers and super-fancy steakhouse, why don't you do The Forge some justice and Yelp about it? Only, remember to change the location on Yelp! to Miami, that is if you have it queued up for SF.
$400 for 5 people is actually a BARGAIN considering what you said you ate!
