restaurant		“... Having seen the Vegas outpost, and being impressed with the sheer scale of it all (as well as its places as the top grossing "restaurant" in the country - likely an honor bestowed upon the Vegas version thanks to late night drinks), I thought it might be worth a try in new york... “... I'd never complain about waiting in a loud bar at a popular restaurant if I was in the mood and hadn't reserved - but honestly, a restaurant has no business taking reservations if it can't manage not to insult its guests with such an excessive delay... “...

Dined with a large group before a play at Berk Rep. The service was very good however, the food definitely lacked attention. The pasta dish I'd ordered was angel hair with lemon, wine and chicken. I was suprised the chicken used was thigh meat and the taste of the light sauce on the pasta was poorly concocted - flavors did not blend well. We'd ordered the bruschetta which was very flavorful. I wouldn't dine at this restaurant in the future.
