The dungeon-like restaurant here serves so-so Mediterranean food (don't you have nightmares like that?) and the wild bar prices don't appeal to many. That said, it's in a good location and the crowd all seem to be eyeing each other up, which breaks the ice. Stunning Gothic interior and loopy garden greenery at least make this place different.
