I'm giving this restaurant a 4 because of three things: (1) the sauces are divine, (2) the happy hour is a good deal, and (3) the service staff, while not superlatively attentive, are a good bit of fun. However, here is what does not work: (1) the atmosphere; what is this place, a rotiss, a sushi bar, a sports-ish bar, or a run down cocktail lounge, (2) what's with the decor (see #1), and (3) you guys need a facelift (and this neighborhood knows a bit about that ;-) If you have an hour to burn at happy hour, try the potstickers; you'll come back again and again, maybe just for them. The calamari is also good, but inside tip: order the potstickers for the sauce, and recycle it for dipping the calamari in (don't worry you'll have plenty). Cheers!
The original review was positive overall; the specifics are in the experience above.
Honestly? Nothing worth bitching about.
Yes. The original review supports the recommendation.
