I eat out at restaurants probably five times per week between lunch and dinner so I experience all types and levels of dining (as background). I am always skeptical of other people's comments about service so I'll sum up this way. Servers are generally nice but their skill lies in their attentiveness to detail. Our particular server could have had an off night because the attention to detail was lacking. With respect to the food and drink... my third drink was watered down when it arrived and I sent it back. I requested medium rare and got nearly well done and sent that back. The appetizers arrived lukewarm. We were dining a group of four on a Wednesday night. The bar was 110% full and it seems to me like this place has a halo effect of people saying that they like it just because they realize how much money they spent on it. I didn't even have to pay for the dinner and it was unsatisfying. When I was recently asked to go back there, I declined. I am sure I should give it another shot because a refined opinion on just one occasion is not possible. So for now, I rate it just plain 5.0 average. By the way, the tables are particularly close so if you want to discuss private matters it is difficult.
Pros: Lots of hot people in the bar made it fun to wait for the table...
Cons: Leaving the bar to go eat...
