In Short
The interior of this popular boite is graced with funky touches like animal-print fabrics, high-back booths and a white baby grand. Outside, there's a lush garden patio complete with Crate & Barrel-style furniture and a gurgling fountain. During the week, happy-hour crowds gather; weekends find cozy couples and large dinner parties. The international menu features potato pancakes, sesame-crusted ahi and wood-fired pizzas. The sultry lounge is home to the bar, which offers signature martinis.

The food was fine, certainly there are more interesting menus elsewhere, but fine none the less. Unfortunately, the night was ruined when the waiter became enamored with my date. A little inappropriate for him to run his hand across her exposed back while he is pouring. He directed every interaction to her without ever looking my way. My date became uptight, hoping she was not being perceived as flirting with him. The waiter further copped an attitude with me as if I was a problem for bringing this beautiful woman to his station when he was working. We cut dinner short, leaving abruptly. My date apologized all the way home. The only reason I didn't say something to the manager was that I would have exploded. Truly unprofessional and made for an uncomfortable evening.

This place is delicous!! We went for brunch on a Sunday, and sat outside. The outdoor patio is great, especially when the weather is good. Staff was very nice, but somewhat slow. It took forever to get our food, and to get the bill - so that was frustrating. If you aren't in a rush, I would highly recommend this place. The mimosas are great, and so is the food! I had the huevos rancheros, and they were great!
