Avoid at all costs!

Throughout my entire 25 years of dining out, this was by far the worst food and service that I have ever experienced! Ambiance:cold and too loud to carry-on conversations w/o shouting Food:Fishy warm oysters,"Heirloom" tomatoes from Jewel uncooked cold scallops, 4 out of 6 entrees were stone cold and bland. Service: Horrible. Inattentive. Entrees took over 2 hours to arrive at the table cold and only after we shouted down the waiter twice. When we asked for the bill, the waiter slapped it down on the table and stated "It's our policy to put an 18% gratuity on parties of six". Value: None, negative. An absolute rip off. You're better off going anywhere from La Pasadita to Charlie Trotter's

Not exactly what I expected...

After reading the review as one of the best outdoor dining areas I was excited to try the place out. Walking in, we were quickly asked if we had made reservations, and frowned on for not calling ahead. The menu was less than to be desired for those traditional chicken or steak people. If you are looking for something EXTREMELY different, this is your place. Be prepared to pay, your venison or fowl entree will cost you some money. The patio was nice, but the chairs were uncomfortable, which fit well with the overall feel of the restaurant.
