great experience – the space is beautiful and serene. the waitstaff were helpful and pleasant and the food was excellent. although many items on the menu catered to those who loved seafood i had an amazing beef dish. i would highly recommend coming here and will continue to patron this restaurant.

Anissa is nice.. – Anissa has the most wonderful hostess/owner around. She owns and operates the spot with Anita Lo. The service is perfect and the food is interesting innovative and excellent. The summer menu is in play..much better than the winter menu. I recommend the Lobster entre and the steak. A very hip restaurant a true hidden treasure.

Tasting menu is divine – Course 1: Sashimi scallops with caviar and tomalley. Amazing. 2: Shanghai soup dumplings with foie gras. Not as good as last visit but still very yummy. 3: Sable (black cod) with tofu and seaweed in miso broth. Great texture, beautiful flavor. 4. Monkfish, smoked monkfish liver with choucroute. Wow! Never would have thought of it. 5. Beef cheeks and tongue in bordelaise with wasabi mustard. Great depth of flavor, a bit chewy, a bit too gelatinous. 6. Cheese plate. Hit or miss, overall yummy. 7.

Oh, Annisa – We loved the space and the hosts were quite nice. The food, however was a struggle. If you don't love fish, it's tough to find something on the menu. There were 4 of us at dinner and we all found the preparations all a bit complicated. The waitress saw a couple of us struggling with the menu and I felt she was frustrated with us. I'd hardly consider Annisa "traditional."

Urbane – Great service and ambience; sophisticated in many ways. Food can be mixed. We have eaten there about 4 times. SOmetimes it is sublime and sometimes just good but that's not bad right?

tasting menu left me longing... – I had the tasting menu on a first date. This was the ideal first date restaurant. We sat side-by-side in an intimate, but comfortable booth. The wine pairings with the food were uninspired, but fine. The menu began with a lot of promise. The first two courses were truly out of this world. The second two courses (the fish and meat) were boring and pretty flavorless. My date didn't even touch one of the courses. Dessert was ok, but nothing to write home about. All in all, I think we may have d... read more

Runs the gamut... – from great to bad and it's hard to imagine. Some of this food is among the finest in the city and other dishes are shockingly bad. The chef is garnering a reputation but I liked her better at the Asian place, Mirezhi(sp?) she was at. The female wine and alcohol list is interesting but...desserts left us cold as did the room. Still, we'll keep trying to because the promise seems to be hovering just out of reach. Deeply, deeply expensive.
