LOVED IT!

by fontain

I had a birthday dinner party with my friends on Saturday night, we absolutely enjoyed it. The candle lit dining room is so beautiful. Our server is friendly and very attentive. I had the delicious apple martini, the too many ingredients prawn! Im glad followed the servers suggestions. He even brought out a delicious piece of chocolate mouse cake with a candle at the end of our meal! I felt like I had spend a fortune, but I didnt. We had a good time and with these prices, I will definitely go back.

• Pros: Inexpensive, friendly service, ambience

A fantastic find.

by carlodimilano

Rarely coming down from the upper east side, I have found the perfect restaurant. Not only was the food was delicious and the room gorgeous, but the prices are out of this world. My date and I each had appetizers, entrees and desserts, (including a delicious pinot noir) for near to nothing! The most expensive entrtee was $16!!!! Unbelievable in NYC!!!

Great Brunch

by villagediner

We had a great time at brunch. Every dishes were delicious and the hoisin burger is a must. The room is perfect for working off your hang over -- very serene with sunlight streaming into the room. Definitely plan to go back for dinner as the menu looks interesting and reasonably priced.

• Pros: food, ambiance, price

A global melange of a menu that plays up healthy eclectic flavors.

by Kathleen Squires

The Scene
The decor feels faintly Scandinavian, with blond wood walls, floors, and communal tables topped with white lacquer, while the crowd exemplifies worldly and eclectic--young, mature, straight, gay, groups, dates, suits and jeans. The often-confused service, unfortunately, is in no one's time zone.

The Food
A "skewer" bar introduces the diverse offerings, with meats and fish healthily grilled and hinted with various "scents." Fish, like the orange-tinged shrimp, pick up these hints more than meats, such as the surprisingly timid chili beef and clove pork, but the opposite holds true with the mains. Cornish hen retains a comforting, juicy essence, and confit of duck infuses a slightly sweet and peppery spirit. The portions are small, and the still-hungry should tread carefully on the dessert menu, which ranges from an interesting Vietnamese coffee flan with charred pineapple and sea salt to a downright strange balsamic ice cream with olive oil biscuit and figs.
