I was impressed with this place when we initially arrived, although the door staff / hostess gave us mega attitude. The food was fantastic, as was our server. (I highly recommend the bread pudding for dessert!). However by the end of the night the bar area was hopping, which was fine if you were there for that, but the noise was not contained to the bar area at all, despite there being a door separating the food and drinking areas. So it was hard to hear our dinner conversation! And getting out of the place was ridiculous, we had to shove through throngs of people in the bar (mostly drunk at this point). I agree with separate areas for food and drink, but there should be a better layout when it comes to arriving and leaving. I would totally check it out as a bar though, it seemed fun.
