"Our reservation was after the lunch rush (1:30 were quickly and cheerfully shown to a table. The first impression was a bit unsavory: One side of our seating, was a long banquette, and our part and the next table had a pretty good dusting of greasy crumbs, which I quickly brushed off before my guest sat on them. As they had only around 3 occupied tables at the time, there is really no excuse for such a slovenly state of affairs. Whomever bussed that table should have seen to those crumbs. Our waitress (also serving as bartender hostess was very friendly and informative regarding the menu. We ordered several plates and shared them, which works well here. Everything we tried was tasty well-seasoned (satay skewers, bbq ribs with a bit of potato salad, buttery chicken tikka masala, and origami cod , cleverly steamed in an origami parchment box. We also enjoyed among us, a glass of wine, and lychee martinis. The wine (and a bottle of ice water, a nice touch , came right away, but the martinis seemed to take an inordinate amount of time, though when they finally arrived, were delicious and refreshing. All in all, I would go back. Seems like a great place for some Happy Hour tapas cocktails, or a dinner or lunch of a variety of nibbly bites. Next time, I would hope for a more fastidiously looked after room, and a beverage service that is a bit quicker in the delivery."
