by Michael C. on Soju + pork katsu = perfect combination this place gets pretty packed when it gets late. And its always fun to bring visitors to an office building at midnight on a weekend. they really blast the music here, but its a great place to grab a group of friends pop a few bottles and just hang out , eat, and chat.
by Hong Yepiz on I'm a fan of music. Good electronic music. In a good space with good sound. So I'm torn. Speaking as a B&T guy, this place is too B&T. I know, how do I have the right to criticize? (I'm back on the east coast after 8 years in SF, and I need to find a place to hear good music.) Cielo books great DJs. The sounds is perfect. The setting is very hip... but perhaps too hip. So it ends up having a bad "I'm here for the music" to "I'm here to be seen" ratio (favoring the "see me" crowd heavy with B&T flavor). But I've been told that all the B&T now live in Manhattan and they're not really B&T, really... and I should head out to Brooklyn to find the good stuff. I miss NYC before they "cleaned it up". Meatpacking was much cooler when the trannies roamed the streets instead of the fake boobs and dudes with tucked in shirts... oh bother...
by lisa w. on went there for dine about town tonight and was slightly underwhelmed. it was good food for the price, but if we'd paid full price i would've been kinda disappointed. the ambiance is really swanky, big brick walls with hangings on them and spectacular loungy couches (literally, with pillows) and cushy velvety chairs at the tables (i can't stand restaurants that have uncomfortable seats). a strong vote for the ambiance. the amuse bouche (ginger infused gazpacho with cucumber) was great and the soup (roasted eggplant with flat bread) was very good. the samosas were really fantastic - must order them. the noodle and chicken entrees were passable. a good place to try once but it's not high on my repeat-visit list.
