The worst dining experience of my life...seriously.
By seasoned diners on 05/19/2008
To sum it up: a nice idea with a horrible execution. You have a decor following the latest trend of the Standard Hotel in LA paired with an excellent chef and superb menu. How could it go so very wrong? First of all, the Maitre 'di who is also the Manager, who loosely claims to also be a Sommelier is a rude, clueless blowhard with no apparent people skills or service experience whatsoever. Secondly, the waiters work so hard to pressure-upsell you on everything that you soon feel like you are at a used car lot. If anything goes wrong, don't expect any apologies from any of the staff, least of all the faux-sommelier Manager. You will probably be told it was somehow your own fault. Somebody please just close this place down and start over with something ANYTHING else.

great food- friendly and knowledgeable staff- expensive but worth it - will go back for special occasions. the tastes will linger in your mouth long after dinner has ended.
