Over ambitious small plates that fall flat and absent service make a bad combination, especially at this pricepoint. Our party of four waited 1.5 hours for seating than ANOTHER 30 minutes for menus! We did not get food, including bread or water, until we had been there over 2 hours. The couple next to us said they had been waiting 40 minutes after they finished their dessert, just so they could pay their bill and leave. No wonder the prices are high... they can't turn tables more than once a night! Once we did get our food, we found only 2 of the 8 dishes we ordered were worth trying again. Keep in mind a $12 order of scallops includes only 2 scalllops. Oh, and they were cold by the time they arrived. So was the first pasta dish. Our water glasses were never refilled and we ended up going over to the bar to get more wine. I do have to say the sliced duck with beets was tender and flavorfull. The decor is innovative: An inverted skateboard park sort of thing. Noise level was comfortable for a crowded, small space. Just keep in mind that turn turn a profit, the markup on menu items is huge. Plates are smaller than you will fnd at most tapas places small. Expect to order 3 per person. Unless they learn to turn tables faster, I predict they will have to raise prices further or force custiners to endure even greater wait time for only marginal food. Seattle has FAR better options if you want to spend $70 per couple on dinner. I give it 12 months before it perishes
Pros: duck salad
Cons: service, price point, wine list, food temperature, wait time, value, food
