The cool factor hits you right away. Rather than just an open expanse the area is divided by hanging curtains, set-backs for semi-private seating, and one room which is very private and intimate. The wait staff are super-attentive when they come to your table, which isn't often. The bartenders appear more focused on being hip than in actually serving you but when they do the drinks are well-constructed.close
