    I've now been here two times and the food has been excellent overall. I could personally do without the frequent use of chili slices. Other than that, the flavors and textures are marvelous. The brioche bread and hummus are delectable. I feel like every dish is a slam dunk - too bad there isn't a sampler platter! The decor is lovely, a few discreet fabric panels might help with the noise as its a bit hard to hear the people across from you - the sound bounces around the cavernous space. The crowd seems very chic, a bit eccentric in a fun way and more adult - that's probably the price point keeping out the under 30 crowd.

    My only critique is the noise level of the music was so loud it was hard to hear the person I was with across the table. But the service, the food, and the ambience were wonderful other than that.

    Go hungry! Friday and Saturday nights are Prix Fixe (single price per plate) for a huge family style meal, but totally worth it! Every dish was absolutely delicious, and the sheer volume of food was staggering. The avocado salad, the Russian salad, the baba ghanoush and the filet mignon were my favorites. I didn't think to take a picture until close to the end of the meal but our table was almost too small for all the plates and food and drinks! Highly recommended!
