Frommer's Review
When it opened in 1999, this sleek and chic restaurant struck an immediate chord. In 2006, the restaurant took a different tack, moving away from traditional three-course meals to concentrate on small, shared plates (with some available as entree-sized portions). The cuisine is as modern as the decor, taking a global approach with dishes like a Moroccan-spiced chicken kebab and Kung Pao-style sweetbreads, while still making room for unique comfort food like the crab mac 'n' cheese. The always-evolving wine list offers many intriguing selections by "cork" or "stem" from around the world. One lament: The cement floors and other hard surfaces amplify the noise level.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
