We should have known that the place was slightly chaotic when the hostess seated a couple who had arrived after us first. Once seated we had long island iced teas. They were mediocre at best. The french onion soup was simply concentrated beef stock with a little cheese on top. We sent it back. The tapas arrived about 30 minutes later, all at the same time. Some of it had clearly been sitting for quite some time. Following comments relate to the tapas only. The tuna (sushi grade we're told) was more supermarket than anything else, the pork rolled in bacon, very average. The chicken dish was probably the best.\r

While eating the appetizers, I was bitten by an ant. Uncanny, I thought, but carried on regardless. A little while later, a kitchen hand (possibly) came to the table and told us that they had an ant problem and that we could move if we wanted. He then disappeared like in a scene from a Harry Potter movie (""pouff""). We then found another table and expecting our food was to be transferred over to the new table, were left for a few minutes in a state of limbo, looking at our food (which by this time was likely being eaten by ants).\r

It was difficult to get the attention of the waitress too. She didn't know the menu (referring to a scribble pad for the evening specials). The venue has a pleasant ecclectic modern feel, but nonetheless it's the last $84 they'll see from me.
Pros: Nice venue
Cons: No parking/amateurish service/TERRIBLE tapas and ANTS!
