| - The food here is really good, but the vibe was wrong for me. And in a place where you're sitting at long tables, sharing with strangers, the vibe is important.
By vibe, I don't mean decor. The decor was cool. Very similar to Oddfellows, which makes sense, same owners and designers. Hip, big and industrial looking.
I feel like they are catering to a young, naive crowd who don't eat out much besides chain restaurants, and need a lot of education about the menu and what's on it. I don't know why this bothered me - maybe the proximity to others in the restaurant? Everyone around us was in awe of someone's order of bone marrow. It did look very good, but these people were in awe because they'd never seen it before. I also heard a girl call the rabbit special "duck". Same difference? Tastes like chicken?
So, go, enjoy the food. It's delicious, fresh and they do interesting things with it. I definitely would go back, but I'd try to sit at the bar.
