Do we really pay grad students enough that you guys can go to such places? ;-)

I went there about a month ago but don't plan on going back.  The most memorable feature was how on earth they could justify charging so much for dishes that were so small and not that good.  Though, since it is a dinner date it could be ok: the tables are reasonably private as compared to the non-alcove parts of places like left bank or evvia.
