Looking forward to another fabulous dining experience, I was surprised to learn that the original Chef has left the building and the new management pretty much replaced the entire staff (I only saw one familiar face). Nontheless, I kept an open mind and was more than willing to try the menu.\r

Unfortunately that's where my enthusiasm ceased. The food portions were tiny; more suitable for ""Sheba"" the family cat than the clientels of an upscale Soho eatery. As for the taste, it was disguisting...please tell me in advance if you were to serve me ""brain"" aka ""soft bread"". Gone were the impeccable old menu with tasty treats like the Gargonelli (sp?) and the fabulous waitstaff. Instead, the management decided to replace the place with an overhyped/untalented chef and a ""flock"" of robotic waitstaff.\r

Btw, do not waste your money on the $85 Truffle Rissotto...it's nothing more than Truffle oil with rissotto served in microscopic poritons. \r

Guys, c'mon this is MANHATTAN, do you honestly expect to survive with food my dog won't eat?!! Please bring back the old chef.
Pros: nice ambience
Cons: Food, Staff, Price...
