Nix on the basement, first floor, preferably the room adjoining the bar.

Ah, I see what you mean. By "upstairs" I thought you meant first floor (I didn't know they had a second floor).

I've never duked a host for seats, and pretty much all I know about that practice I learned from an episode of "Curb Your Enthusiasm," but I may give it a shot. When I went to Lugar's, the Brooklynite who took us to dinner bumped the guy something like $40, so adjusting for Big Apple/Big Potato variation, $20 sounds about right.
