Raoul's calls itself ''the classic cocktail lounge... with a twist.'' The twist must be the binge drinking and unabashed flirtation that makes this sleek suburban club one of the area's most combustive singles spots. Filled at night with the shiniest of shirts and the shortest of skirts, Raoul's demonstrates its late-night acumen with attractive, black-clad bartenders that pour deftly mixed martinis. Visiting near closing time, one might be surprised to learn that Raoul's also serves some serious food from a menu that features fresh fish, pastas, gourmet pizzas and appetizers. But if you're looking for a quiet dinner, come early, for it doesn't take long for the place to fill, the volume to increase, and the lights to dim to such a point that you wouldn't know whether you were about to enjoy the last forkful of your sea bass or about to make-out with a 21-year-old junior college student who goes by the name ''T-Money.'' But don't worry about T-Money. If you don't make-out with him, someone else probably will.

    I love the half price appetizers and the martinis are to die for, especially the chocolate ones. Tasty dessert drink.

    This bar was a great place to meet people, dance or just kick back and have a few. Highly recommended.
