Ate here 5/15/12.
The atmosphere is confusing...it's French medieval-inspired, with huge iron chandeliers and gorgeous stained-glass; yet they were playing horribly mismatched music...kind of "Carlos Santana gets stoned with Yanni and they attempt to play jazz".
The place was empty at 6:15 on a Friday night.
The menu is quite small.
We ordered the calamari as an appetizer. We were told it was sauteed, but it was actually fried. It was good.
I had the handlebar cocktail, also good but hugely overpriced at $10...it came in a small martini glass. Service was s-l-o-w, but the waiter was kind.
I ordered the hanger steak medium-well and it was *burned* on the outside (really charred), and very chewy. It was NOT good; however, the salad and potatoes that accompanied it were both decent.
My husband ordered the lamb, which was wonderful. The bread they serve is delicious, too.
We ordered the carrot cake for dessert. It tasted pre-made (as if it had been frozen) and the cream-cheese icing was excessively sweet. It was mediocre.
This was an expensive dinner that could have been much better. There isn't anything sophisticated or different here; Nighttown is more bang for your buck. The cocktails alone are also far too much money. The music made for a goofy atmosphere-definitely not romantic.
