Was in NYC for the weekend at the beginning of March and went to this place on a recommendation from a friend. We really had fun! The atmosphere was very conducive to hanging out - warm lighting, good music loud enough get you moving but not too loud to talk, great drinks (loved the spicy Bloody Mary and the drink in the pink cup that glows!!!) Tried some of the tapas - the date-bacon appetizers melted in our mouths, and the guacamole was excellent! But definitely try the chocolate fondue - it comes with fruit, brownies, graham crackers and tiny marshmallows...yum! The staff was attentive and friendly. The manager was very welcoming and we had a great conversation when he discovered we were from out of town. And the movies showing on various screens were visually entertaining - period pieces from the 70's and earlier. Make sure to use the washroom downstairs - it's worth the trip through the crowd to see the giant Buddha head and sense an undercurrent of atmosphere beyond the bar scene...I'm looking forward to meeting friends there next summer when I'm back in NYC.
Pros: ambience and good drinks and food
Cons: none in my experience
