Disgusted at service. Recently went there (after their kitchen was closed). One of the waiters kept trying to take my drink away even though it was clearly full. Service was on the slow slide, they rather socialize than service people. Someone brought a birthday cake and we basically got kicked out for bringing it!. Thought it was very rude and I was so disgusted I wanted to puke. We then went across the street to China Doll and they gladly accepted us and our cake. We offered the owners and bartenders a slice after =D

Pros: many martini choices, nice music

Cons: Don't expect a smile. Prices wil catch you offguard. (pricey) Service is on the slow slide I strongly do not recomend this place.


I do not recommend this place.

Have been there twice, and still have mixed reviews about the place.

Pros:
Large list of drinks, wines, beers, quite a selection.
gorgeous decor, well designed.
some great music to listen to.

Cons:
music, while good, was far too loud to talk to person even sitting next to you.
drink lists partially do not have prices, so expect to be caught offguard for a $16 martini.
they also ask for a credit card to start off the night for a tab, be prepared.
and the worst of all, a two bottles of beer and a martini took approx 20 minutes to get to the table.


I do not recommend this place.

I went here for dinner two nights ago as part of Winterlicious. The service was pretty disorganized and slow, but the food was fantastic! However, about half an hour after we left the restaurant, I began to feel violently ill. To make a long story short, I suffered from all the symptoms in the book, got a free ride in an ambulance, and stayed in Emergency all night. Two of the three people I dined with also got sick and when my boyfriend called to alert the manager, he was defensive, unsympathetic, and promised to call back later, which he of course never did.

I do not recommend this place.
