I ate here when the restaurant first opened. I understand now that the aesthetics are the only thing of value to this restaurant. The food was bland and the service was appalling. Le Central in Denver is much better. Everything looked tasty and presentation was good, but flavor was lacking and service was poor. I spoke to a server who said that the management was very poor there and that generally, the waitstaff was treated like "domestics."
Our waitress made a mistake with our order. When we asked for something else, she complied and brought a new dish. However, in the kitchen I could see her manager yelling at her until tears fell from her eyes. He told her how the extra dish was to come out of her own paycheck.
When we asked to speak to the manager he came out and did not offer any kind of compensation or comment of relief. He only pointed towards the waitress and said, "It was her fault," and then walked away. Unbelievable. What kind of accountability is that when you are running the restaurant? Our waitress had red, teary eyes throughout the meal. Absolutely horrible dining experience.
