I think the food is really amazing here -like a five star bistro. But the service ranges from just ok to truly deplorable. Also, because of the amazingly low prices, it seems to attract a lot of people all of the time who order up mind boggling large supplies of house wine and wax obnoxious throughout your whole dinner. In other words, no matter what time of day, it's guaranteed never to be restful. One time, the staff let me wait for a table for 10 minutes and when one came clear, they told me it was reserved. So, thumbs down to the staff. But the food is truly wonderful. It works very well to get take out. You can order ahead and pick it up with no waiting. And did I say the food was great? Try the angry salmon. They use real cream and fresh ingredients. If you eat in, be prepared to be patient and don't expect it to be quiet.
