Overall the food was very good but there were several issues that take this to an average restaurant at best. I find it amusing that the Insider Tips rave about the Vegetarian Special which as it turned out was the only option for my Pescetarian fiance because both fish dishes contained meat products. This really limits people with dietary needs going with fish as an option. Our waitress seemed taken aback when we asked about the menu and provided very poor service throughout the meal. The review on 2/19 is accurate I was expecting more than 1 scallop as well. (Although dish was delicious) I would also like to say the Cauliflower Shortbread side with my Lamb was amazing. \r
Unfortunately this did not offset the overall wierd vibe we got. This restaurant presents itself as innovative/high end and with that I would expect a whole lot more. Unlike others I was not that impressed with the wine list. Our wine was a mid to low priced bottle that offered minimal character and in fact I would call simple at best. From a Spanish Ribera del Duero I would expect more earthyness. Furthermore the whole waitstaff should realize that when a couple finishes there bottle of wine and is waiting to eat there dinner they may want to order some more wine. Instead we waited 5 minutes (as our waitress passed us by several times) and ordered a glass of chardonay and cab. The Cab was good the Chardonay was served about 10 degrees too cold. Overall there was a stuffy air to this restaurant and unfortunately the service did not deliver. \r

In total I would say the food was above average however, the ambiance, attitude and the inability to deliver knocks this restaurant down.
Pros: Good food
Cons: Lacking the ambiance and finer touches to warrant attitude
