    Very good food, in a unique and beautiful location, full of light and space. The service is a bit sloppy and doesn't match the food and location levels (e.g., the clientele's appearance is more polished than the servers'). A brunch menu that incorporates a service tip in the bill should include a drink. In general, great potential that could be easily attained with a little more care.

    First, this is one of our fav restaurants. Had the scallops which was a new item/recipe. Overwhelming spices. Indian (which I love) but the scallops were doused in garam masala and other sweet spices to a gut wrenching level. Had to leave the last one. The squash puree was over spiced and on and on. Half the spice level and this could have been a wonderful dish.
