I've read the reviews, and perhaps this is as good as it will get in forest hills? Maybe I'm spoiled as a Manhattanite (west village)? Anyway, the place is very nicely decorated, it's got a minimalist thing going, fo r the most part, and occasional abstract painting, dim lighting, and large ""pond int he middle with rose pettles and a plain buddha statue. I only had one appaetizer and a drink, so I don't feel like I can adequately assess either. I can, however, say that the service SUCKED. We were int he lounge area at the back. Initially we had a waitress. Some point early in our stay she decided to retreat to the bar. That made for 3 bartenders at a rather small bar. Okay, fine. Problem was even when we'd go to the bar (to order food and drinks for our table) we'd have to stand and wait for an extended period before they would come over to us. The 3rd time, after waiting more than 5 minutes, I started to wave my arms around, and even that didn't work. Our stuff did get to us quickly after that, but it shouldn't be such a strain to place an order.
Pros: nice atmosphere
Cons: bad service; overpriced
