If you love to pay too much for your food AND be ignored by an arrogant waiter after waiting almost an hour AFTER you reservation, that this is the place for you! We tried dining here early on a Friday night. Big mstake. not only were they so short staffed, they couldn't bring us water or menus. They didn't even manage to bring us all the food we ordered until AFter the dessert arrived! Our final two dishes arrived an unbelieveable hour and 20 minutes after we ordered! No matter that we had already waited in the resturant almost an hour before being seated. When we finially got a hold of the waiter for an explaination (no easy task), we were told that "to have to food trickle out is artistic and innovative...it's the style of the restuarant". What?!? Soundslike a sad justification for bad management, a poorly run kitchen and/or a stoned waitstaff. But are the pasta dishes supposed to arrive cold? At $16 dollars for tuna pasta, I found the tiny dish to be salty and the chunks to meat to be overcooked. Did I mention it arrived cold! Also the two meager scallops were oily and otherwise bland. Same with the squid salad. Oily, but otherwise very ordinary, slightly bland and not worth $12. Plates are quite small. Our waiter said people typically order 3 per person, although I was still hungary after my three dishes. Most dishes weren't innovative or exciting. Olive oil and salt were the predominant flavors is every dish. The more we ate the more the dishes tasted the same. At the end of the night I left feeling ripped off. Overall, I think the resturant is poorly run and does not warrant charging these high prices for such small plates.
Pros: decor
Cons: food, service, value, parking, management, reservations were useless, crowded
