two dollar signs? who rated this place? 10/23/2005

okay, the food here is good. but absolutely everything is overpriced. i spent $90 on a dinner there last week that should have cost me $45. $30 wines are on the wine list for $80 or $90. the drinks are expensive, although not ridiculous unless you figure in the tiny size. it is a shame that this restaurant overprices so badly (feels like extortion) since the food is actually good (not amazing, but where else in the city do you get fried plantains). i'm constantly amazed that people go back (and take me with them). if you're going, try the swordfish, one of the better (and more original) dishes. oh, and it's a bad sign when the waiter can only recommend the most expensive wine on the wine list (he actually recommended a $145 bottle for a table of 8). maybe i'm just poor, but that's bad etiquette. Pros: good food, swordfish Cons: overpriced, snooty waiters, ridiculous wine price more
