Someone did a great PR job for this place. Having read several reviews saying what good value this place was, went with my girlfriend. The vibe is nice in a New Yorky way, with B list models, their hangers on and low rent would-be players. The food was inventive and decent quality, (though portions were small and stingily excluded rice which cost extra) but what's up with the pricing? It's no bargain, that's for sure - expect to throw down a $100 easy for two, without going crazy. My main beef is the positioning of this place as 'cheap eats' when it ain't. Is this place really an offshoot of Indochine on Lafayette? If so, stick with the original. Concluding - I've NEVER left a restaurant hungry in NY before, nor my girlfriend who eats like a small bird, but we had to stop at Veniero's on the way home!
Pros: nice vibe, good decor
Cons: not good value, portions small
