Upon entry, you are given a card and this card is basically your bill. I thought it was pretty neat, being able to self serve and getting whatever you want while charging this card (I found it very dangerous as you can easily rack your bill, just like a credit card, without knowing how much was ordered). At first, I was a little confused because I didn't really know how it worked, but I went to the bar got a drink and gave them the card.
Inside, it was very decorative and lots of places to sit. I took a picture of one of the neat tables with the tree in the middle. It gave a feeling of zen within the restaurant. The surrounding tables are a little small, but its nothing to worry about because there are big tables as well. I can see how it could be busy during the day, but I went on a Friday night and there wasn't that many people.
I ordered the Pasta Cognac which I believe was a special that night. It was pretty tasty, but I wished the portion was a little bit bigger. I believe that was my fault because I got the Linguini instead of the other style of pasta, and there were cheaper options with more food. They have a wok and they cook it right in front of you. They also give you free bread, so make sure to get some. Swipe your card and you're off to eat!
I didn't get to try the pizza, however I did drink. Nice 3 long islands as well as a couple of shots for the birthday girl. And, major props to the bartender as he made my long islands pretty strong and tasty. They tend to put a lot of ice in them, so for the second and third one I told them not to put so much ice and a little more of the sour mix and coke.
On an off topic, in the bathroom there are some awesome hand drying machines. And they have a schedule of the artists that come in every Thursday and Friday night that play live music. If you come, come on one of those nights to enjoy nice music to go along with your food and drink.
