I went here to celebrate a friend's birthday over the weekend, and while I'm happy to see this sort of place downtown there were some fairly significant minuses.
I'll start out with the positives though-the atmosphere is very hip and cool the kind of thing the neighborhood desperately needs. The food is unique and the ingredients seem to be very high quality (the volcano beef cooked on a rock was very well marbled and delicious). The lemongrass dishes, spicy wontons, gyoza-all quite good. The red curry chicken wings were my favorite until....
(And yes, here is where the minuses start) bloody/rare chicken. I mentioned this to one of the servers and it did not seem to even faze them. We also ordered several things that never arrived despite several "It's on the way" uttered by the waitstaff. They were even kind enough to remove them from the bill when we pointed out their absence.
I really hope Sens makes it, if they get their act together this place could be legendary-today not so much I'm afraid.
