Went on valentines day...
Didnt opt for the 80 dollar chocolate fountain meal, didnt seem like a fair trade...so we were seated in a cold basement, packed in along with other diners...pretty much every customer was seated downstairs while upstairs was virtually vacant. Everyone seemed to find it pretty funny, even the wait staff. I get the sense that they dont respect the management or the restaurant itself, I can understand why....the food came out luke warm and frankly was underspiced, the worst ethiopian food ive ever had.
The music was god-awful, cheezy and weird. At some point a saxophone rendition of Star Light Star Bright came on.
The place is pretty cold, pretty weird, trying for a modern chic thing with pictures of Eithiopia and the desert on the wall, bit of a disconnect. While other Eithopian restaurants Ive been too have been relatively warm and inspired, Nil Bleu seems like a weird gaudy lab.
