Wow...where to start...?

I'll keep it to bullet points to avoid rambling: >>> 1)It's really really trying to be industrial/trendy to the point where our entire party (incuding me - who has approximate cold tolerance of a polar bear and was wearing a sweater) was cold. If you like "warm" restaurants (feeling/vibe and actual temp) don't go. >>> 2) The menus (there are at least 5) are confusing.>>> 3) You need to order about four $12-15.00 options to even be within sight of fullness.>>> 4) The service was terribly slow (though our waiter was pleasant). 30 mins for makers and water - the waiter brought makers on rocks after 30 mins then asked again what one of our party wanted, then poured water from pitcher into the glass. Also the cocktail menu was fairly unoriginal and the concoctions were generally dissapointing.>>> 5) The hostess was rude.>>> 6) It's in a terrible area of town.>>> 7) finally a positive.....The desserts are awesome!!! Or so we hear, we didnt try them because we just wanted to get THE HELL out of there before we went postal/froze to death!

Pros: thinking.....

Cons: service, food, ambience, location,

Insider Tips

On the Menu

Shareable plates, including housemade charcuterie, pork-belly-stuffed rice dumplings and paella with squid ink gel, are standouts on the dinner menu. Inventive dessert selections, like the "invisible dessert" made with transparent ingredients, abound, as well.
