Review content:
Cant vouch for the regular menu, since I tried only the $20 tasting night. Don't know why some reviewers didn't like the service. The service was great.
Although the dark brown "trendy" decor is not to my taste, you might like it.
The Tuesday tasting night is a tad disappointing. The food is excellent. No question. I thought the latke and salmon & cream cheese didnt really work that well together, but that's nitpicking. The food overall was really good, very tasty.
Don't be fooled by the sound of "a 5 course dinner", since it really is a TASTING menu, not even close to normal size or even appetizer-size portion. To give you an idea: the bellini with ginger and mushrooms was exquisite, but only around 2.5" by 1.5", the zucchini pancake with 1 shrimp on top (the shrimp was amazing, the pancake a bit greasy) was around 2.5" by 2.5". The only close-to-appetizer-size portion was the lamb and rice, which was really delicious.
Its a night to give you an idea what the chef can do, nothing more. Is it worth the $20? Yea, kinda. But dont count on it for dinner. Unless you eat like a bird, the 5 "courses" will leave you hungry. I actually went to eat elsewhere afterwards.
The concept of the tasting night is good, but I would make several changes.
(1) Increase the portion sizes. If that means increasing the price, so be it. I'd rather pay $30-35 for a satisfying meal than taste 5 items that leave me hungry.
(2) Offer those items on the regular menu. Now, they are not.
(3) Have more variety. 4 of the 5 items were similar: the bellini was similar to the crepe (w/chicken, which was a tad too sharp), and the potato latke was similar to the zucchini latke.
Overall, I think its certainly worth checking out. Ill probably go there again.
Pros: Delicious food. Good service. Clean.
Cons: Small portions, crowded seats
