The menu, as many have mentioned, is small plates broken up into 3 regions (I can only remember two so I won't list them). Unfortunately, these small plates don't come with small prices and after a $300 meal (there were 8 of us but that doens't include any drinks), we left hungry. I should mention that since I arrived early I did get a chance to sit at the bar and have a drink, which was delicious, but at $9 each they had better be! It also turns into a club around 10pm so after being seated late for our 9pm reservation the service felt a bit rushed. Our waitress was very attentive though so I have a feeling service is generally one of their strong points. It's a beautiful restaurant and the crowd is a blend of everything, just like the food.

The food was ok. The surroundings were to loud. We were a large party and all of us agreed we would never return I joined some co-workers at Madjool and had the worst dining experience.

We were still hungry after eating here, and ended up going to Pancho Villa on 16th St for something a lille more(actually a lot more)filling. Down with tiny portions!

Dining and "wine-ing" (sorry about the pun) have always been your forte, so it was natural to see you on a restaurant review show. Your review was detailed and thorough, and a nice read. You should do this more often. DOWN WITH BEETS! :-D Adam, great job on the show!
