In Short
The decor features waves of gold and copper swirling around giant tables. The contemporary design blends seamlessly with exposed brick walls and the sizzle of the open kitchen. Lamb loin is fall-off-the-bone tender, while a salad of arugula and shaved Romano with fig vinaigrette is simple but sensuous. Dipping entrees include smoked duck breast paired with mango poblano salsa, strips of calamari steak with Vietnamese chili-lime sauce, or ginger-seared tuna with jalapeno mustard.

My husband and I had heard such great things about this place...great food, great ambiance, good service, romantic, etc. so we decided to try it out. Our reservations were at 6:45, so we showed up at 6:40 and checked in with the hostess. She said it would be a few minutes, so we went and sat at the bar. 6:45 came and went, then 7:00, 7;05, at about 7:10 we started to notice that people who came in after us were getting seated. At 7:15, my husband decided to check in with the hostess. They acted very confused, and said they could go ahead and seat us. We were finally seated at 7:20 (40 minutes after we got there...35 minutes after our reservation.) They only excuse we were given was that there was a mix-up with the hostesses when they switched shifts. Our waiter was decent, but acted distracted most of the time...he actually brought us our appetizer twice, not realizing we'd already eaten our appetizer...it was a bit strange. The place was REALLY loud too! The music was so loud that everyone was trying to talk above it and my husband and I couldn't even hear each other. Not romantic at all!! The food was good...really no complaints there. Just keep in mind if you go to this restaurant that the food is decent, but the service is really bad!! And, don't go here if you are looking for a romantic evening.

First time there, and probably the last. Great food, and wait staff was very attentive. However, service out of the kitchen was very slow, and the wait staff kept coming by to apologize. We were a party of two and chose to share a salad and two entrees, as three courses (the restaurants suggestion). The salad came fast, but then there was over an hour wait for the 1st entree. Restaurant was about 75% full at the time. This will prevent us from returning.

Somewhat consistant food, slightly overated ,see and be seen. The food is usually excellent , the service is very sketchy and sometimes rude. I have been there in small parties as well as special arrangements for large celebratory parties. The kitchen once flipped out an ember and burned my daughters arm. The restitution for that mishap was a flippant "oops".
