AMAL says DEVOUR THIS FOOD

1) Appearance - nice, spacious, comfortable. Dark atmosphere, wood floors, food furnishings. It's a club at night, so for dinner it's great for large gatherings. Only complaint is that because it is a night club, it's very loud, between the music and people yelling at each other in order to be heard...it's hard to communicate at dinner. But the furnishings are comfortable, wide chairs and tables, all bar-height.
Bathrooms kind of felt what I think purgatory might be like. Pretty horrid, still, stale, and repelling.

2) Service - kind of robotic. We had a group of maybe 15 people for dinner, where they offer a prix fixe menu. The servers only came to take your order once, then a few of them would come and serve you dinner and quickly dissapear. We had to get up to go to the bar and ask for ketchup, which took about 10 minutes. The service wasn't bad, but just don't expect restaurant service.

3) Portions - great, surprisingly big

4) Taste - surprisingly pretty good. I had the green salad, with the Steak Frites option for the main course. I enjoyed it. The fries were delicious. They reminded me of Swiss Chalet french fries. The dessert (brownie) wasn't all that.

5) Price - great. For the Prix Fixe menu, $35 gets you salad, main course and dessert. Drinks, taxes and gratuitues are extra.

C H R I S says DEVOUR THIS FOOD

1) Appearance - nice, cozy, dark

2) Service - like Amal says, they just do their job of serving you the food, then the bill. Nothing extra.

3) Portions - pretty good. I wasn't stuffed, but I was adequately full.

4) Taste - ok. Would go back.

5) Price - great


*TIP* This place turns into a club after around 10:30 - 11:00. All of the bar-height chairs around the tables are removed to make room for dancing. It gets pretty packed in there, and pretty rowdy after around 1:30, as with all clubs.
