Tasty alternative to the city

by sarahcunh at Citysearch

While the majority of the food was tasty and the wine list was great...the service was awkward. The waiter cleared a plate before we were done with it (and didn't bother to ask). The tuna tataki (appetizer) was sub-par. The beef carpacio was a favorite at our table. Would've liked more explanation of the dishes and less small talk by the wait staff. I ordered the Ribeye special which was huge and overpriced. Atmosphere is nice.

• Pros: seated promptly and excellent pita and hummus
• Cons: awkward service
