  • Went there Sunday night with 2 other people. We had salads---pickled beet w/buratta, wedge, and spinach and kale--fabulous all around. Entrees were: scallops, petit filet, and burgundy braised short ribs. Everyone was thrilled with their meal. We give it 4 rather than 5 *s for the following reasons. Many reviewers remark favorably on the atmosphere. For us, it was less than ideal. Although the decor was relatively appealing--in a sort of elevated-Tim-Burton-by-way-of-steampunk sort of way--the atmosphere was schizophrenic. Specifically, the dining area aesthetic was relatively sophisticated, but it contrasted with manic thumping low-brow pop music totally blaring and echoing off the walls, 20-foot ceiling, and concrete floors. I had specifically asked about the music when I called ahead to ask for more specific directions than GPS provides; I heard the cacophony, but the hostess had assured me "it just sounds loud over the phone, it isn't actually all that loud." To their credit, they did turn it down when we got there because it was absurdly loud. Especially for a Sunday night dinner at 7pm. Furthermore, the bar area is not separated from the dining area---and 3-4 enormous TVs over the bar were blasting basketball. Again, this struck us as bizarre, given the quality of food and the decor. But given the lack of separation between the bar and dining area, we could hear a group of 3-4 women at the bar (as one in my group remarked "already three martinis in") talking in loudly projected nasal voices, and shrieking with laughter. There were very nice burgundy velvet drapes between the dining and bar areas, and it would have made a world of difference if only they had been able to close them. The visual alone---looking at velvet instead of gigantic flashing TVs of sports and seeing the people hooting it up at the bar--would have greatly improved the experience. Maybe some people love this, but we agreed it is challenging to have an intimate low-key high quality dinner with all that other stuff going on. All in all, it was wonderful food, fun decor, truly fabulous service---slightly compromised by elements of the atmosphere and vibe.
