Food: 4/5 Vibe: 3/5 Service: 3/5 Value: 4/5 Overall: 3/5
Not sure why this place is so popular. Snotty bartender actually asked a female friend of mine "who she was with" and turned away when she said she was "with herself". Not sure what his thinking was here, especially since she is a smokin' hot, 30-something attorney. Also, this restaurant has one holer bathrooms, which of course resulted in 4-5 deep lines for both men and women all night. Food is good, not too badly priced, but the service was fairly slow probably because it was so busy, almost chaotic. All in all, very average. I was disappointed since I had read good things.
