    To start, it is not a Bistro, if you are expecting the classic French experience, you will be sadly disappointed. It is more like a new wave Italian avant-garde type of eatery. Food was very good, but extremely small portions. The beef $60,… enough maybe for one and you will still be hungry. Wine list badly balanced, don’t get me wrong, great wine I had for $160, but there are no $85 to balance the selection. Next bottle was way over $120 ( not… that kind of restaurant) Our server when we asked so many questions and was sceptical about the menu, very curtíos and educated, simply changed his “ tone”, serve us well but you can tell we were not his favourite table. I personally won’t be back, but again, it will be totally unfair if I say it was a bad experience, simply not for me. $560 for 4 people,… expected more

    Yes the drinks are pricey but I went with a big group and we had lots of fun. Was not too crowded and music was good, everyone was nice and had a great time.
