Last week I dined at 25 degrees and my overall experience was outstanding. Although the alcohol was slightly overpriced, the rarity of the wine and quality made it understandable. (Not to mention, this is CITY NORTH, what do you expect??) The atmosphere contributed to the positive experience as well as the genuine customer service.
After reading these negative reviews, I would like to comment in 25's defense. This restaurant is better then Delux because of its large wine selection, creative menu, appropriate venue and sexy, yet knowledgeable waitresses. I was impressed with how the server was able to recite the whole menu, including the background of their cheese selection. Not to mention the excessive knowledge of the wine menu as well . The ambiance makes people feel like they're dinning at an elegant restaurant while eating America's favorite food.
