In Short
This 220-seater is known as much for its colorful cocktails as its contemporary French-Mediterranean menu by chef Cedric Tovar. While the downstairs bar attracts a younger, hipper crowd, the upstairs dining mezzanine draws serious business types. A gypsy-inspired decor gets its cues from thousands of strands of glass beads hanging throughout the window-lined space. Appetizers include foie gras, squid and quail; bouillabaisse, lamb and lobster are among the choices for dinner.

I went for restaurant week and should've known when we last mintue were able to get a reservaiton that it wasn't going to be good. It was very empty when we got there also. The food was just ok and the staff was almost too attentive, coming to the table every few mintues, which made us feel rushed. Overall, spent a lot of money on average food and average experience. They even gave us a coupon for $25 off the next meal. I feel kinda bad, just seemed like they were stuggling.

I took both my mother and my boyfriend here for birthday dinners and the food and service were incredible! My mother got there before me and they seated her in a nice table upstairs (I called beforehand and told them it was her birthday). This is a huge deal because no one wants to keep their mother waiting. LOL When my boyfriend and I went, we ordered a couple of the fantastic specials and they brought out a really cute dessert with sparklers. On both occassions, I didn't break the bank and both parties had a great night.

My girlfriend took me to Django for my birthday, but we never made it to the meal. They started off on the wrong foot by telling her that there would be a prefix menu when she called, but when we arrived, there wasn't. We were seated promptly, but our table was right on top of the people next to us. We basically felt like we had to share a table with 2 complete strangers for what was supposed to be an intimate meal. No privacy whatsoever. We were considering asking for another table, or telling the waiter/waitress that we were no pleased, but after 25 minutes passed without anyone coming to our table, we got sick of waiting and left. We went to the much more intimate Rosa Mexicana and had an excellent meal.
