My rating is based on the food and overall ambience. When I go to an expensive restaurants I expect GOURMET MOUTH WATERING food. Unfortunately the food was not memorable, they didnt have much selection, the portions were smaller than average (i'm talking the full/dinner size!). Worst of all-EVERYTHING WAS SALTY! We went for a friends birthday dinner and the whole party agreed that the food was much too salty for the average taste buds. It was very loud (obnoxious people sat next to us), music was on the louder side, service was relatively slow and our plates came out in intervals so we had to wait for everyone to get their plates (not fun) The staff was friendly so thats one plus. The ambience matches that of joeys restaurant so if thats the feel you like maybe this is the place for you. My overall rating was definitely heavily determined by the saltiness of the food.
