| - This is one of those rare places where I have been disappointed a few times, but still want to come back and try it again in the future. Honestly, I think this place is just taking a bit longer than normal to get going and come into its own.
I was here twice - once in the evening when it was totally dead (just me and 3 friends), and once for lunch where it was relatively full but not crowded. Both times the service was really awkward. Although I had different wait staff each time, on both occasions I or a companion made requests that went unheard - forcing us to be a little more aggressive than usual about getting their attention. Is it bad accoustics? Because the place isn't really that hectic, even during what is probably their busiest time of day.
The food is ok, but it's a lot like Fez and Ticoz in that they stick with offering several variations on just a few select types of dishes. However, I like that they offer some casual and light choices like a fruit and cheese plate - perfect if you're just hanging out for awhile with friends or clients. I've also had a salad and a sandwich here, although I can't remember which ones (they were not bad, but obviously forgettable).
The prices are reasonable, but the decor is cheap - so even without getting/tasting the food you already know they're fair.
Overall, I think I'd wait a few months to see if they're still in business, and then recommend another visit.
1/22/08 Update - I went back with friends two weeks ago to find the menu and service greatly improved, so I'm upgrading to 4 stars.
