 I've been there once.  The bread was very good (some long thin
 breadsticks, a green olive bread, a focaccia).  The
 (garlic, IIRC) soup and dessert were also quite good.  The entree I
 had was, well, rather confusing; fish in a minty green sauce, on top
 of a red salsa, with some slices of bacon perched on top of that, and
 then some nouveau potato chips balanced on top of that. Any of the
 individual ingredients were tasty, but they didn't really meld and I
 felt compelled to push them to opposite sides of the plate lest they
 battle amongst themselves.  My date's entree, on the other hand
 ("duck, duck, goose", with sausage, duck breast, and goose liver)
 worked pretty well.  My overall impression was "still getting their
 act together, and maybe a little overambitious, has a lot of promise."
 Of course, I tend to like restaurants which lists lots of strange
 ingredients, so I'm predisposed to think it's interesting, the same
 way a previous poster may have been disposed to think it was pretentious.
