Nice ambiance but food was not up to standard

by boardchix2b at Citysearch

Very prompt on seating us upon our arrival no wait...which was great since this was a birthday dinner celebration. Great wine list but the wine we did order said the year 07 on the menu but our bottle was 05...didn’t bother too mention since we already started to drink it.

The service was impeccable very attentive.We started w/mushroom soup which was the best part of the meal.the entree were the small plate of filet mignon med rare and def was not cooked med rare more med to well. Again didn't complain because it was my guest b'day also since I already had my meal she didn’t want to send it back to have them cook another cause of the time. I ordered the rack of lamb which was cooked accurately but lacked taste such as salt & pepper (very bland) but to the eye the plate looked pleasant. The au gratin potatoes made up the taste. Molten cake microwaved...not good.

• Pros: The service, ambiance, wine prices, mushroom soup.
• Cons: entrees

Great place to go after work

by M1 at Citysearch

We went after a business meeting to decompress and were able to have a personal conversation, Happy Hour deals on beer, and a $4 appetizer of Hummus with cucumber, carrot, celery and toast. When we needed to get the laptop out to handle unfinished business, we went to one of three table-tops and had even more privacy. We had another round of drinks, finished our work, and stayed for dinner - incredible Caribbean Ribeye and Ravioli, French Onion soup with homemade bread and clear, fresh, ice water.

• Pros: Small upstairs bar where you can have a conversation
• Cons: What are the drawbacks?

Good ambience; terrible bar staff

by jphimist at Citysearch

I am a big fan of the tank bar. It is an off-the-beaten-track, great ambience, put together, but low kind of place, but I was there the other night discussing with my girlfriend a rather painful family dispute related to an inheritance, when the bartender buts into the conversation and says "It sounds likel you guys are a bunch of spoiled brats!".

Who does that? It is a small intimate bar, and the bartender is inevitably going to hear conversations when it is quiet, but I didn't think it gave him license to insult me. Frankly, I thought the Tank Bar was the last place that would happen...
