The lighting here is fantastic. Great date place... everyone looks good under the lighting. The night we went, it seemed like all the Smith Barney employees were eating here. Excellent sound system. Strange selection of music. Did they just play Michael Jackson?\r

The person working coat check looked really depressed. We ignored her.\r

Fondue was fun. Steaks great quality and taste. My husband liked his martini. \r

Our waiter was kind of nervous. He did not seem confident about his recommendations when we asked him. Maybe the staff is tired from having to serve too many jaded bankers? Okay, I'll stop being judgemental.\r

Despite the few staff glitches, had a great time. Hubby and I walked through Tribeca all the way home to the West Village after this very filling meal.
Pros: lighting, decor, steaks, cocktails, sound system, location
Cons: depressed coatcheck girl, nervous waiter, too many bankers
