It's moderately expensive ($25/head is pretty standard, no alcohol) and noisy.  It's the hangout of yuppies when they want to impress someone but don't want to get dressed up.

It's been a while since i've been there, but i always thought of them as an expensive rib place, since that is what they (at least used to) be what they were known for.  The last dinner i went to was a birthday party for someone that worked there, so i don't know if that ment we got 'better' food or not, but it was tastey.

Again, they "used to be" known for their appetizer time, able to almost have a dinner there (don't remember if it was mentioned last time Geoff was asking for places to go). craig
