Didn't live up to expectations

It sounded good when we heard about it, the previously reserved for catering events only restaurant now open to the public. The website looked good, the menu appeared tantalizing, but the reality was not as expected.

We went for a pre-theater dinner on a Saturday evening and ~6:30pm the restaurant was almost empty, only 1 table seated, that should have been a sign. Atmosphere was reasonably relaxing, service was ok. Happy hour was still running and we got to try some interesting wines for $6 per glass which was nice.

The food however, left much to be desired. We inquired about the empanadas, having had them before elsewhere, and they were described to us as "wrapped in very light pastry, not greasy at all". $6 for a single empanada is a bit hefty, but wanting to try their creative twist on this traditional latin food, we ordered it as an apetizer. Much to our disgust, it arrived with grease oozing out of it onto the plate and it my first bite into it produced an explosion of oil droplets that splattered the tablecloth and almost stained my wife's dress.

Not very pleased, we proceeded to order our entree's which were not as bad as the empanada but were just ok and not great or even very good food. For the price there are many more interesting restaurants with great atmospheres that serve great food. We wont be returning.

Two Great Experiences

I've been here with my wife twice and everything was nearly perfect both times. I especially liked the heirloom borscht soup and octopus
