"Maybe it's just not for me. The menu failed to offer a lot of appetizing options, likely because many were less than "healthy." The hummus appetizer was good ... as was the tuna steak sandwich. But, on the whole, I'd opt for a different neighborhood spot."

"We stood at the entrance to check in for 5 minutes before the host (who was outside smoking and talking on the phone) noticed us. He was very awkward seating us. The server was the bartender which was ok but it was a bit slow. The food made up for much of the uncomfortableness. The music was way too loud for a dinner service."

"Came here for a drink with a friend on a Tuesday evening - $5 wine by the glass and delicious, reasonably priced cocktails (with fresh squeezed juices!). Only problem is it's hard to find - would be better if the outdoor signage was illuminated."

"Went on a Sunday night. Food was very good. Service was attentive. Didnt get drinks. Ambiance was chic. It was pretty empty when we were there, but would definately go back for cocktails with my girlfriends or back for the food."
