    They have excellent drinks at the bar but a very rude front office ... if you have a table reservation for 3 or more they won't get you seated before everyone has checked in ... that sucks !!!!

    Despite what some people say... Yin is girls bathroom. Yang is guys! Remember it by yang rhyming with Wang!

    I couldn't help but enjoy how comically mediocre all our food was. It gave me a chance to reminisce about the time I got food poisoning from 4pm bodega buffet leftovers, discounted to $5.99/lb.

    Restrooms: it is boys on the left (Yang) girls on the right (Yin). If you read anything different person is trying to make you enter wrong lavatory or is just not paying attention.

    Get dessert and drinks. Skip dinner, it's not that good and way overpriced. Really pretty venue though.

    Do not come here with a large group. They will not split the tab and will only take 5 different payments.
