PLEASE read this, if you are considering dining at this restaurant! Decor - Awful. Besides being over the top gaudy, it's old, tired, and dirty. The seating is extremely cramped. You will be dining with strangers. We sat under a 50's style box speaker that was blown. "Don't Worry Be Happy" (seriously Bobby McFerrin at a rumored-to-be nice restaurant!) Prices - Ridiculous! You can eat at ANY place in Hollywood, Beverly Hills for less. The portions are minuscule. I can understand refined dining, but you will leave hungry (unless you can afford 2 or 3 entrées. Service - The service is really good. Our waiter was only thing decent in the whole place. Maybe he should be cooking the food (more on that later). When I requested my money back after returning the food the manager refused to refund our drinks and pathetic appetizers. The bill was over $70 for 4 drinks and 2 appetizers. Entrées are over $40 at least. He explained that there are people who will cheat the restaurant for free drinks. By that argument he is inferring that I was one of those people. Food - Here's the deal breaker. They try to overcompensate for the terrible food with presentation. Every dish we saw including our own comes with a 1 foot tall breaded tower thing which you must take down to see the person you're dining with. I suggest putting it on the floor next to you to minimize table clutter. The assorted vegetables look EXACTLY like what you get in the frozen section of the supermarket. I think they were frozen, they claim they make them everyday (either way they taste like frozen vegetables). The breaded stuffed chicken was not made to order. The manager said well it was cooked in the lunch period that day. $38 for reheated chicken...yikes! The short ribs looked and tasted like stew meat. The manager replied yeah that doesn't look good, this is an "anomaly". Mind you this is what they suggest as their specialty.
Pros: Our waiter was great.
Cons: everything.
