Wow! I had heard from multiple sources that this place had great nachos, so when I finally got a chance to stop by for my first visit with some old friends for a late night snack, I was really hoping that they'd live up to the hype. Even given said…More »

A visit to this place was a huge blast from the past as I hadn't been here since my undergrad days, (gulp) several years ago now. Ironically we were carded by the server, so I guess we didn't look too old, right??
Anyway it still has the laid back and…More »

Finally got to try this place after my first attempt a few weeks earlier failed because there were no available tables and we didn't want to wait. On the second try, we managed to snatch one from a couple that was leaving. So lesson one: This place…More »

Very convenient location and a varied enough menu that everyone can find something that appeals to them. The danger with this is that none of the food is particularly spectacular. However I tried the butter chicken and while it wasn't the best I've…More »

Came back for brunch and was definitely very impressed. Same laid back atmosphere as last time, with less loud music and more coffee.

Anyway, I…More »

Finally ended up trying this place for brunch when we were on somewhat of a tight timeline and needed to eat somewhere close to my place. It is a very different atmosphere in the daytime; still very modern and somewhat "avante garde", but instead of…More »

I had been to this place a few times years ago, and suggested it as one stop on a girls' night out. Big mistake! I appreciate the (if not cheap) not overpriced drinks, and the variety of the menu, but the experience was a huge letdown.
