After hearing so many commercials on Air America radio about this place, I decided to stop by. It was 5:30 on a Friday night, but most of the tables were empty, so I thought they'd be happy to have a customer. They asked me if I had reservations and I told them I didn't; they said they could seat me, but I'd need to give up my table by 7:15. I thought that's a bit odd to start out a customer's experience telling them when they need to leave by; but I wanted to try out the food, so I stayed. \r

It took forever for my server (who seemed to act like he didn't want me there) to take my wine order. When I finally got my soup- it was so hot I couldn't eat it for 10 minutes (microwaved?). My seared scallops weren't seared, in fact they were basically raw. The flavor was great, but the texture made me gag. I was never asked how my food was. I would've told them- and told them that the triangle thing they gave me was flavorless, along with whatever my scallops were resting on. I couldn't wait to get my bill- which took about 15 minutes to get. \r

I wanted to try some of the things that show up on their online menu, but those things weren't on their menu in the restaurant. I was really looking for something middle eastern inspired, but nothing. \r

I love Air America and I want to patron the places that advertise with them, but this place needs serious work from top to bottom for me to go back.
Pros: When the wine finally did make it to your table, it was fantastic
Cons: It's pricey; the service; food was undercooked
