Disappointing and overpriced. I was excited about trying this place after reading the reviews, but I think we just took off on the wrong foot.
Snobby staff that don't seem to worry about the way they treat you because the menu makes it clear that there is a mandatory 20% gratuity.
The environment is nice, with a modern industrial feel to it and the menu is ok.
The food was average at best, and the cheese platter was just below that.
I guess it is overpriced because of the location and the reputation, but the quality did not correspond to what we expected.
Considering the quality of the service and the food, and the prices of the items in the menu, the mandatory gratuity is completely unnecessary.
