This place is GROWN and SEXY! the lighting, the decor, the music, the bar, the lounge areas, the food, the wine list, hell even the unisex bathrooms are sexy!
Had drinks with a friend and decided to nibble on something so we ordered the platter with assorted meats, cheeses, chutneys and bagettes. OH my god everything on that carving board was amazing! Also there was a lot to choose from and a large portion so share with a party of 3 or 4. Def. a great place to have drinks and dinner with friends or on a date night.

Had dinner here again and everything was EXCEPTIONAL. It's been a few months, so details are fleeting - but the important thing is that everything sampled was superb. I think this place has really hit its stride food-wise. Awesome.

I want to start off by saying I like the idea of this place!  The community bar and sink to wash you hands is awesome, the vibe is hipsterish (my waitress had a bunch of tattoos) and cool.  I came here with 3 other people, 2 being from New York City so they know their way around nice restaurants.  We were seated outside, so we were surrounded by a chain link fence draped with curtains (not very impressive).  Our waitress comes, we order drinks, wait 30 minutes, she comes back and we order apps.   Now, we are all very hungry so we are ready to make powerhouse moves on this menu.  We all got a huge chuckle when 10 minutes later our apps come BEFORE OUR DRINKS!!!!  Now I'm not talking before our cocktails, I'm talking before water and everything!!!   So now we are munching on some delicious garlicky fries with no beverages!  This to me is a fail in the worst way I have NEVER had this happen before... I mean not at Chili's not at a little hole in the wall...never ever have I been served food in a restaurant without atleast a glass of water in front of me.  Me being a yelper I was pretty mortified. The drinks are different and delicious although they are pricey (up to 15$ for a cocktail).  The food was AOK, but we had our apps and ran for the hills, went down the street to Geranimo's were the servers have half a brain.  We were never given our water, apps came before everything, had to guzzle my 15$ cocktail to wash down the salty fries (which were delicious).  All and all a cool concept restaurant but missing a lot of the small things that make it a dining experience.  If I wanted a concept restaurant with crappy service and an out of the ordinary layout I'd go to the Rain Forest cafe.
