Anyone eaten at PHILIPPE CHOW on melrose yet????

I get the feeling it's just absurdly overpriced Chinese food.
Has anyone reviewed this place????

We just went on Sunday night - No seating problems whatsoever. My review at:

We had an 8pm reservation but left at 9:15 without being sat down to eat. The host did not offer up any excuse other than "we're busy". We were quite happy to wait for 30 minutes at the bar, even 45, but an hour and 15 minutes is proof these people do not know what they are doing. There were at least 4 other groups of people saying the same thing at the bar. The truth is we are pretty easy, the host could have offered to buy a round of drinks or an appetizer and we would have been compelled to stay but he did not see the value in that. If you care about customers, and ultimately your business, you don't treat people this way. We ended walking down the street to Lucques and had the meal Philippe is unable to serve up.
