d...a...r...k... and LLOOUUDD!
Oh wait, didn't hear you... it's too LLOOUUDD in here!
Can't tell what to order because its too dark and I can't see.
You enter through a pawnshop and once your eyes adjust to the darkness, you can see that this place is beautiful in an illicit sort-of way, dark, intimate, and sexy. No doubt there's a lot of footsie going on under the tables here, and if you think about it, after a couple of the excellent cocktails, you'll be doing it too for sure.
There are imaginative cocktails and the menu is filled with items to be shared. The chef's favorites are pulled together as a single prix-fixe meal - for simplicity, and because we couldn't hear the waiter (too loud) or read the menu (too dark), we chose that option.
In general the food was quite good. Portions were adequate and we did not leave the restaurant hungry.
