| - Lovely, rich food, adorable atmosphere, spotty service and prices that are about a third more than they should be. If you're trying to wow a date, or just have drinks, this is a great place. For dinner, for the money, you might be able to do better.
I've been to two parties here, and it looks really impressive. The atmosphere alone is worth the trip for a special date night.
I've tasted/ordered many of the dishes. They were all delicious and well made, rich but not too heavy and in perfect portions. However, the dishes are quite pricey, and, in my opinion, not quite remarkable enough to merit it. I think there are plenty of fine restaurants that charge a little less and wow a little more.
The service is, well, odd. The hostesses and bar tenders seem nice. However, I noticed that asking even simple questions sent the servers back to the kitchen to check - when I was a server, that was pretty rare, and they had almost the same menu many months apart, so constant changes weren't to blame. The first time, the server was nice. The second time, the lady was just bordering on rude, and bizzarely insistent that the salad I ordered contained no avocado (even though the menu expressly listed it). In a place that charges so much, I would have expected polite, knowledgable staff.
