Don't get me wrong, it's a beautiful restaurant in one of the most beautiful locations. But I've never had an experience that I put the first bite of something into my mouth and it's horrendous! I ordered the Monkfish and literally could not take it. I tried to be polite among friends and have a few more bites - look pleased since it was not a celebration for me - but good lord! I couldn't! The monkfish was gamey (ordered med-well), and it was placed on a bed of broccoli rabe with chopped up potatoes and chorizo. The sauce was some sort of concoction that tasted like lemon, vineagar and what ever else you can think of that is super sour. It was - gross. And I can eat just about anything. They handled the replacement of the food well - and I ordered a pasta. The pasta was really plain and I could probably have done better at home. I was really shocked and disappointed. The service was sub-par as well. My friends told me that what looked like their most popular dish - Hangar Steak and Frites - was tough and hard to digest. No one seemed impressed. And when we asked the guy for suggestions on the menu he asked ""What would you like?"" Huh? Never again. And I work in this building!
Pros: Ambiance, modern and lovely - Location is good
Cons: Food, Service, and you can't find the bathroom too easily.
