But I've never heard anything about the their food. Anyone ever been there?

The current Zagat's suggests that nothing has changed. Thu Dec 04 10:27:10 -0800 2003 1096545 0 Jerry 1 1096612 I walk by it everyday. I think they have a $20 prix fix lunch, and $30 dinner. From everthing I've heard, its nothing to cross the street for. Having drinks in the bar was a thoroughly underwhelming experience. There are other restaurants that would probably be much better about two blocks away. Walk up Stone Street and see what you find..... Thu Dec 04 11:44:32 -0800 2003 1096545 0 bigskulls
