   This restaurant was shut when we went there. A note on the door said it was now closed. Why were we not told ahead of time?

   We have been to this restaurant twice before, which is why we came back. However, the menu was more limited than in the past. In addition, the service was very slow although the restaurant was not crowded.

   I was disappointed. Have wanted to go for a long time. The staff was great but the food was very under seasoned and under whelming. Started with tuna tartare and ceviche both of which needed salt and acid. I had the salmon which was very good but the veggies it came with were overloaded with lemon that I could not eat them. My husband got the sliders which were just ok. With all the amazing places around will not be back.

   Very disappointing. Have been here many times before and have liked it. Seems like they don't care anymore. Will be surprised if they are in business much longer.

   Menu is limited; salad and pita with dips were good; main courses were disappointing - fish was not flavorful and vegetable sides were insignificant. Not worth the prices charged.

   This was our second time dining here. We enjoyed the first time, enormously. But as I think our meal at 251 Lex a few nights ago, it was perhaps the worst evening out for dinner I ever had. From the service to the food, from running out of the specials early in the evening, to sending two dinners back to the kitchen, nothing was right. Twenty minutes would pass between waiter visits. Asked to sit outside and was told those table were booked. But they gave us a table overlooking the outside and there were tables available the entire evening. Bottle of white wine came warm and we had to wait for it to be chilled in the bucket of ice. The entire evening was a disaster. Every aspect of the dining experience was unacceptable. Nothing more to say.

   The food was was really delicious , the chef is extremely creative and both of the dishes were elegantly plates . We enjoyed the quiet , calm atmosphere and thought it was suitable for an elegant evening out . The wine portions were on the small size and not even filled half way--- we were disappointed on the stingy serving size. We noted that our server was a little un attentive and also a little inexperienced . Perhaps he was new to the restaurant . We will give it another try ...

    What a terrific place! It seems like it just gets better each time we go! Last week it happened to be 1/2 price wine night so we enjoyed a lovely bottle of Rose! The food is creative, fresh and oh-so-delicious. The chef artfully blend flavors and spices in beautifully presented plates. The service is warm and friendly, and everyone makes it a treat to be here.
