The Scene – From relaxing leather armchairs to the curvy banquettes, the seating is comfortable and intimate. Subtle colors and patterns feel trendy without stealing the focus from the food and companionship, while upscale touches of glass art and color-changing walls make for a modern downtown vibe. The staff has a way of disappearing--bring patience, or provide them with advance notice if there's a specific dinner deadline. – – The Food – Tiny "urban bites" are sized to supply a very light snack--the biscuits heaped with tender pulled pork are the most substantial…

Editor's Tips

Parking:
Valet parking is available for $9.50. Head north on First Avenue and pull up to the corner at Madison Street.
Happy Hour:
Happy hour (Mon-Fri 3pm-6pm, 10pm-12am) offers half-priced bar menu items and deals on drinks.
What to Drink:
Try the sweet Plum Lotus--lychee-infused vodka mixed with plum wine, with a garlish of lychee and umbrella.
Where to Sit:
Grab a big booth in the back to survey the territory, or snag a bar seat on the curvy red couch for front-and-center action.
When to Go:
The crowd is noticeably younger immediately after work and after 9pm. The hours between fill in with tourists and couples heading to a show.

Good food, but maybe overrated

by SSandAway at Citysearch

I've only eaten at the bar for Happy Hour, and all I heard about for 3 months before I went here was how amazing this place was. Like how the happy hour burger was going to change my life. So when I actually ate there and had a burger at happy hour, it was good, and its definitely a nice place, but I have to say, when a place is too over rated, it ruins the experience. Good food, I got good service, although I have heard that since the opening, the service has become hit or miss, I would go again if we were headed to happy hour in that part of town and it wasn't crowded.

Love the happy hour!

by chubbybunnyone at Citysearch

I came here for happy hour and, though the prices are a bit higher than I'm used to for happy hour, the food and drinks were amazing! My friend and I ordered some cocktails (delicious!) and several of the small plates to share. The food was so good! I'll definitely be back again to try some of the other food and drinks.

Had a horrible experience

by ChristopherD at Citysearch

My wife and I had brunch there late in the morning on Sunday, May 31. The restaurant wasn't crowded, and it took longer than it should have before a waiter came to our table. To make things worse, it was about 20 minutes after we placed our order before we got the food! I had the corned beef and sweet potato hash. Although it was tasty, it was light on the corned beef.

  • Pros: convenient for Hotel 1000 guests
  • Cons: service, price, pretty much everything
