Atmosphere: Went on a Friday night in early September. Service was prompt and good, music an ideal volume and very good; the patio was kept a perfect temperature with (non-direct) misters at 8 even with the 100 degree heat. The patio is very beautiful but the ambiance is somewhat marred by the fact that at least half the tables are in the direct line of the streetlight. With some strategic sheilding with bamboo or similar, the patio would be perfect.\r

Drinks: Fantastic mojito if a tad pricey. \r

Food: The food was excellent if a tad richer than the waitress explained; I had the shrimp sauteed in garlic butter over a polenta grill, I can't recall the precise name. It was excellent and had great presentation; the sauce was very rich. My husband got the steak grill & he found it very good. I can see the problem that vegeterians have; the restaurant is listed as vegeterian but there is nothing purely vegeterian or vegan on the menu. I eat seafood so I had a lot to go on. \r

Overall, great atmosphere, not too expensive, and good drinks, and great location. It is definitely not on campus as another writer mentioned (near, but about 15 blocks away) I'll be back!
Pros: Great food, location, patio
Cons: Streetlight interferes with patio dining
