Doro KoppOctober 24, 2013
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 !!!!
Jamie IngogliaMarch 4, 2011

Nice fun atmosphere food was not that great.
LaurenApril 2, 2013
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.

I don't like hipsters....but they do resturants right. Try the cali rolls.
Tessa DomzalskiSeptember 13, 2015
Get dessert and drinks. Skip dinner, it's not that good and way overpriced. Really pretty venue though.

Order their shrimp tempura and pad thai!
Константин КуликовDecember 23, 2015
Never got inside, despite the reservation. The staff behaves ridiculously, had to wait 40 for nothing, while being pushed around constantly...
Allan BeaufourMay 16, 2016
Come for the scene. Certainly don't come for the food or the service as both are mediocre.
Jaime S.August 28, 2015
Bitchy, but the food was good.
Dalia ZMOctober 2, 2015
Appalling service
Gena HOctober 12, 2013
Do not come here with a large group. They will not split the tab and will only take 5 different payments.
Anoud AlammarOctober 28, 2015
Orange chicken.
