They say a ‘soft opening’ is a chance to work through the normal day to day activities and tasks and hope to come across some kinks in the hoses or sinks that leak. Of course one of the most important components is to determine how people respond; the guests, the servers, bar tenders, and managers. I can comfortably say that CREAM is open for business. I can’t confirm the details but it was overheard that the crowd was nearly the entire parking lot, yet the door and security staff most hospitably ushered in those with reservations, guests’ lists, or other credentials. For a large majority of those who didn’t have prior arraignments, the venues open space planning easily accommodated them.

Cream Stereo Lounge is a sophisticated palette of white finishes a high end venue brought together sounds from around the world on Saturdays Grand Opening. Resident DJ Earth keeps it fresh, familiar and funky. Great highlights of the evening were of course, the bath tub in the front…well at least the contents of the bathtub was spectacular. [You’ll have to simply see for yourself] A very note worthy aspect was Jeff Gutierrez, the complementary Saxophonist that lifted people on their feet.

The last but certainly not least attractions of the evening were a series of complete blackouts, followed an amazing light show that highlighted a traditional Belly Dancer who incorporated flames and snakes. Future events seem to be even more promising.
