The Scene
Small, granite-topped tables take up most of the room, making it best for couples or little groups. The dark brown walls, dim lighting, minimalist decor and velvet curtains keep the place modern, yet intimate. A bar shares the main dining room because space is limited, but customers never feel cramped.

The Food
Chef Stephen Dunne (mk, Spago, Rubicon) pairs tapas dishes such as duck confit and steak tartare with specific wine flights to take the guesswork out of choosing the right wine with your meal. The bubbly flight, which includes samples of Cava wine and champagne, and the food-loving flight, make perfect companions to the delicately seared halibut and rare sliced beef with fennel, shaved fennel and spicy greens. The true stars are the melts-in-your-mouth mussels floating in a garlic, butter and white wine sauce and the ahi tuna tataki served with marinated anchovies.

I wanted to like this place based on my friends positive reviews but our table of four visit ended up costing $260 before tip for very mediocre food. I was befuddled at the check amount. The food was very average without taste. dishes such as the steak tartare and black angus beef over pasta were completely devoid of flavor- very bland. The cheese plate for $16 was paltry portion size. The wine was very expensive. A check of that amount should have been a four course dinner not an average night out with bland tasting food. Very disappointed. Do not recommend.

This place gets five stars for the wine list and cheese plate alone. Great upscale casual dining and Tuesdays are half price wine bottle night. The salads are especially varied and well presented.

The food and wine where killer. The environment was a bit loud and you are elbow to elbow with the adjacent tables. The dishes are pretty small but well prepared. I respect a man that takes pride in his work the chef was that man. I stood and watched him for a few minutes and was very impressed. I would recommend the roasted beets, steak tartare or the polenta. We drank the 03 barbaresco, it was killer. The port was to my pleasure as well, I had the porta rocha 1975.
