"We were the only diners in the whole restaurant on a Saturday night! Was kind of nice as we liked having all the attention, but bad for atmosphere. Our server was great though and kept us entertained."

"Don't sit near the windows! If you do you will feel the huge draft coming from them or notice the very duty window sills. The service was nice and attentive without being overly obtrusive. We had a turkey club sandwich, butternut squash and risotto with red peppers and artichokes. The sanwich was good, as expected, nothing fancy. The soup was off color, bland and of little texture and very disappointing. The risotto was wonderful, prepared just right with interesting contrasting flavors. For a simple menu however I expect each dish to stand out. It does have a nice open area, is quiet for lunch and comfortable seating. The red art deco lights has always rubbed me wrong however in how it clashes so much with the rest of the decor."

"Very quiet on a Monday night, but this was good because we wanted a place for good conversation. We ended up eating from the Happy Hour and appetizer menu and the food was amazing. Especially the tempura shrimp skewers and lamb chops. I've eaten here several times but not recently. This is going back on my favorites downtown list."

"I put in my reservation that I wanted a booth as it was a business lunch, and we were given a table in the middle of the restaraunt. We were seated as soon as we arrived however sat for 10 minutes before anyone approached us offering water and other beverage. Food was o.k. however overpriced for what you get."
