One negative review does not a bad restaurant make... 10/3/2009

We had a terrific experience and dinner was delicious. Despite the negative review below (which I don't doubt), I would say the service was through-the-roof good for us. Our waiter was a hip cool dude and super attentive and accomodating. I had the toast appetizer that came w/ goat cheese and figs, etc. - yeah, the bread was pretty charred, but I liked it that way - maybe a bit on the crunchy side. We tried the mussels - the broth of course made for perfect bread-dipping - tastey but not life-changing. The flank steak was super with a nice spicey-sweet sauce and fingerlings + shitakes done just right. The Halibut was stand-out incredible - its sauce should win some prize on the food channel - I could eat their halibut all the live-long-day and be the better man for it! And did I mention they serve Mexican Coke in a cold frosty bottle! The scene was very hip - mostly progressive young professionals w/ thick-rimmed trendy glasses - the grad schools should be proud their alumni are eating so well.... the noise factor is pretty loud, and yes there are some big tables w/ rich college girls, having fun laughing the night away and swapping frat-guy stories... And there is a bar area. This place is definitely happening and scores high by me! Pros: staff, food, ambiance Cons: parking but there is valet more
