If I could sum up our visit in one word it would be "eh". The food was good and the service wasn't too bad, but I didn't find the place to be anything special. The tapas was about the same price as a much better place down the street.
Pros: Pretty good food
Cons: Price maybe more than the food's worth

Cozy, intimate albeit small place on the corner of Granby and Tazewell. Food served until 2am which is a bonus. Very interesting menu, just the right sizes.....always excellent specials. Extensive cocktail/martini/wine list. It is crowded so go earlier in the evening if you want to make sure you get a table.
Pros: Ambience, interesting menu, good drink selection
Cons: Smoking permitted, parking, small space

I love this place--we stop there often as we can. Very interesting food, just-right portions, great martinis and drinks.
Pros: You can have three different meals here and not overeat. And they're all delicious!
Cons: Downtown parking can be scarce or expensinve

For those that like smaller, yet professional atmosphere's, Empire is the place to be. It can only hold around 50 people but the martinis are great and the tapas are exceptional. It could seem pricey for some but the atmosphere and service is worth it. Enjoy!
Pros: Fun Crowd, Quality of Product, Location
Cons: Slightly Expensive
