| - Really hit or miss. First of all, the atmosphere is terrific. Modern, minimalist, big open spaces. Very nice. Ouside patio, when the weather is right, would be lovely for cocktails and food, around a fire pit.
I've eaten here twice. Once for lunch, once for dinner. The restaurant clearly is for hotel guests and corporate types. I live downtown, so tried it despite this.
The food as a whole is decent to good. It's very hit or miss though.
For example, last night my wife orders the organic salmon. It was absolutely delicious, cooked perfectly, slightly rare inside and crispy on the outside. On par with the best fish houses I've ever tried.
For me though, I tried the skirt steak. It was a $2 piece of meat, barely adequately cooked, drenched in about 100 grams of fat/oil. I guess to hide the fact that you just got completely scammed into eating a tough, fatty, crappy piece of meat. I guess I'm more of a filet kind of guy, but honestly, this was one of the worst steaks I've tried.
Deserts were okay. Appetizers were just okay as well. Presentation of everything was outstanding, however.
I'd even be back here many times if it was more reasonable in price. But for the money they are charging, I just demand better food, better service. Even if the menu is creative, and the setting is one of the nicest modern restaurants I've recently had the pleasure to dine in.
Particularly frustrating since it's only two blocks from my loft.
By all means, if you go here, skip the steak!
