I like this place: the location, decor and food. Service was a bit on the slow side but, more than anything, this place is LOUD. Be prepared to shout all evening at your tablemates and if you're in a large group, don't count on being in on any conversation more than one person away from you. We were a group of six women and would have had a MUCH better time if the music were turned down a lot, especially since at least one of us had a cold. On the other hand, if you're dining with someone who's a poor conversationalist but looks great, this place is perfect! You can look at them amidst nice ambience over a good meal and check out everyone else as it's semi-interesting people watching.

Pros: Location, Ambience, Food

Cons: Slow Service, Too Loud

Olive oil infuses every Mediterranean dish at this warehouse-turned-restaurant in the Meatpacking District.  See the full editorial review.
