This place is unbelievable! If you don't mind the long walk in a slighly shady part of town, the food is worth the walk. The best bet is to get many appetizers and share among a group. The soups are not as stellar as the vegetables. I've been there many times this year and was always very satisfied!

Good dishes, although many of them taste the same. While that's not necessarily a bad thing, it does prevent one from returning with any great frequency. Not lacking in variety, however, is their extensive wine list. It's ridiculous.
