About this business
Cicada is regarded as not only one of the best Italian eateries in the city, but also one of the most beautiful spaces. This opulent architectural landmark is truly beyond description. Diners are offered modern Italian fare and, more than one regular patron has proclaimed the Fettuccini Alfredo to be one of the best on the West Coast. The Penthouse is an ideal event space that can be hired for hosting private events and weddings. If you can get a reservation, which is essential, pay a visit here. You won't regret it.

Lousy nightspot. – My first time visit impression to this restaurant/club left me with little desire to return. This place was full of older ladies in flapper costumes and men dressed like mobsters, there are some kids that come, but mostly the crowd is 50 and up, much more conservative vibe then places like Edison, which are hip at the same time as being retro. There was a singer who I could not listen to for more then five minutes ( he preformed ALL night), and some cutesy but annoying pinup dancing girls. The food is pret... read more
Would like some changes made. – I am a long time Cicada goer that would really like to see some changes made. First off, I really wish newer better singers/bands would be hired, the line up currently just does not cut it. Second, I really wish Cicada would speed up their service/ change their menu back. Third, no one really seems to like Maxwell, everyone i talk to feel like he is not right for Cicada club, so maybe if they had some younger/better looking, as Maxwell is a little long in the tooth and pretty snobby. He has ne... read more
Can't say I am impressed – I went to a function here last week, and I can't really say I am impressed. I was not really fond of the menu or the service, it was not as slow as some describe for me but it could have been quicker. No one ever came by to refresh my water glass, and after dinner, the plum forgot to bring my coffee. I am a huge fan of the vintage scene, but can't say I am a fan of Richard Halpern or any one Maxwell has got on his lineup. A star for this place is for the good cocktails, though expensive, they do kn... read more
Slow service and poor entertainment. – Service at this place is very slow, make sure to bring a little something to snack on while you wait for your food to arrive, don't expect to get bread either, unless you ask them several times. We requested a table near the stage well in advance and were stuck somewhere in the back. Do not care for the new menu at all. Sunday night is a poorly planned out, bland vintage night club called the cicada club. We hated the people singing the music this last Sunday. The dancers were better th... read more
One star night club in four star restaurant. – This only part of this place that really impressed me was the art deco inside, it is really beautiful, so is the lalique glass, but as for Cicada Club, I think the Cicada restaurant could do so much better then they are doing right now. the second rate musical acts they hire, and the crowd that is recently shown up to the once popular Cicada club really puts the place in a bad light. I am reading back on these reviews, the only recent reviews are either from the manager of the n... read more
Not what it used to be :( – I have been totally bummed out on how dead Cicada club has been recently. We got dinner there, like the other reviews were saying, it was kinda slow, they probably were having problems in the kitchen. The last time we came we saw Janet Klein, last night the entertainment was not as good as she was. They had a female singers none which I or my friends cared for, there was one who couldn't even carry a tune, poor girl, we felt bad for her. I really hope that Cicada club gets better because it used t... read more
Cicada is not really worth it. – The service and the food here are both mediocre at best. It took a very long time for the waiter to bring our menu and a long time to bring the food, they were not that busy, so I really don't understand why it took so long. The food is so so I had the filet mignon, asked for it medium rare, but it came back well done. My boyfriend had the fish, it was very dry and not very appetizing. Not once did they will our water glasses. I actually had to go up and walk across the room to where a pitche... read more
A real disappointment. – We were really not happy with our Sunday night visit to Cicada. The service is really terrible here. They sat us down and failed to bring us our bread and butter, it took them 20 minutes just to come by and fill our glass with water, and then we had to remind our server to bring by the bread. It took another half an hour just to get someone to take our order, and another half an our to get our first coarse. We were not all that impressed by the food. There was a new menu and we really were not happy ... read more
Disappointing Halloween Party. – I went to the Halloween party at the Cicada Club with my boyfriend It is a party you have to pay to attend. Its not what I expected at all.First the positive. Dean Mora's orchestra was excellent and played wonderful music. The place has a beautiful interior. The rest really was very disappointing. First of all, the decorations were really corny and cheap, I don't know who choose them The floor show was the Satin Dolls. They were so cheesy, I was really not impressed, neither was my boyfriend.... read more
