| - The good: I had a pleasant, cozy, leisurely early dinner at the couch seating area near front door. The desserts are phenomenal. I've never had a more luxurious doughnut experience. Beautiful, stylish decor and furniture. Even the bathroom sinks are noteworthy. The waitstaff are very, very nice and not rushed, even though they're undoubtedly busy.
The awkward: The coffee table at the couch is one-foot wide--not nearly enough for 2 tapas & 3 drinks (and there was seating for 5). Any time something new was brought to the table, we all had to participate in the shuffle and rearrangement to make it all fit, or just hold our drinks. Not a big deal, but this could've been prevented with a bigger table to begin with.
The bad: The glasses of wine were served about 1/4 full, what would pass for a "taste" by many other standards. Either I'm ignorant about wine serving portions or we were ripped off. I felt ripped off. We went in expecting to burn some money at this place, but everything was painfully expensive. Either I'm a cheapskate, or we got ripped off. I felt ripped off. Do they want an "exclusive" clientele? Do I "belong" there? I wanted to love this place, but sadly I won't be back until I can save up for it.
