Fodor's Review:

If you want to experience "community," then this bustling, contemporary spot is for you. Visitors from all walks of life -- politicians, quasi-celebrities, socialites, the hip and trendy, straight and gay -- frequent this newer establishment. Big tables dominate this restaurant, which means you'll never know who you'll end up sitting next to or what interesting conversations you may have. The open kitchen allows you to see what's going on from any vantage point. The edgy menu includes frogs' legs, chicken livers, and sardines, accompanied by a host of interesting ingredients such as horseradish, nettles, and refried peanuts. There's no shortage of invention on the drink menu, either: try the "Ace Gibson" with Medoyeff vodka and house pickled onion, or the "Anemic Mary" with serrano chili and sun-dried tomato vodka, celery juice, and sour mix.
