| - Came here with a friend on Saturday, she had been before and really liked it.
The 2 stars comes from the fact that the value for money was really poor. The portion sizes were tiny. We order 2 apps (the latkes and the quail), 1 plate (scallops), and the smoked fish platter. The server said it would be enough food, yet after the meal, we were both still hungry, and we are not big people. For a $90 meal, you should NOT leave hungry. (We each had a drink too).
In particular the scallops plate was crazy small for $14 - more like an appetizer, and even then it would be considered small. Literally 2 scallops and 3 pieces of veggies. And the scallops were thin too, it almost seemed like 1 scallop sliced in half. The "veggies" were 1 piece of radish and 2 other pieces of veggies. Everything was bite sized. Although the presentation was beautiful, this dish felt like a complete rip off. I have dined at some really nice places all over the world, and unless you are a Michelin restaurant you shouldn't be able to get away with this.
As for the positives, the atmosphere was great and so were the drinks. And the food itself was fine, the latkes in particular were quite good. The service was fine too, but nothing to rave about.
If you are looking for a nice atmosphere and unique food and drinks, sure. If you are looking for a great meal, then there are better options for your money.
