| - On the the upside, this restaurant has beautiful views and some interesting architecture (I like the ceiling a lot). Unfortunately, probably because of the large open area and high ceiling, it does tend to get incredibly noisy when busy, and might be better for a small group, or preferably just two people, so that you can hear each other. I was here for a friend's birthday, and there were eight of us. It was difficult to chat with the people on the far side of the table without a lot of shouting.
We came here on a Wednesday during restaurant week. Although the waitress was polite, the service was incredibly slow, especially for a Wednesday! I believe we were there for 45 minutes before our food order was even taken. For restaurant week, you choose a salad (I got the T.O.R House Salad), entree (I chose the Composition of Local Farmer's Vegetables) and a desert. I'm a vegetarian so that was really my only option for an entree. The salad was good, especially the beets. The entree was PATHETIC! Firstly, it was just a few (really only a few) basic small roasted vegetables, and a tiny bit of rice. Something I could easily do at home much better. Considering the high price, I would have expected some effort made in terms of interesting or expensive ingredients, and preferably some kind of protein. The portion was tiny! It was smaller than I would expect for a one person appetizer, never mind a main entree. It was frustrating that everyone else was complaining that they almost had too much food, but despite being a very small female, I was not at all satiated. Just because I'm a vegetarian, it does not mean I'm attempting to starve myself with small carrots, I still want to eat!! Hopefully they will read this review, and do something to improve their vegetarian entree option, as it really is a beautiful spot. My cocktail was tasty, no complaints there.
