Participate NowNot exactly a good price-quality relationship. I will keep to the facts rather than the unpleasant experience overall: our party of 6 had to stuff ourselves on their texas bread, otherwise we would have gone out very hungry. Service was pushy, pouring wine quickly and encouraging more orders. Unluckily, 4 of the selected additional dishes were not on the menu. Very unstylish for a fusion restaurant. and a huge bill for not much.
Solid bbq with interesting Asian touches. Some of the side dishes are underwhelming (e.g. bland "smoked" mashed potatoes that weren't at all smokey), but the brisket was tasty. After a full 1/2 hour wait in between courses, we were informed (not especially apologetically) that they were "taking pictures" in the kitchen. Great idea for a Friday night! Don't let the diners who are paying $45 for bbq disturb you!
Pelaccio does it again with the village installation of 'Cue. I'm not a big brunch fan, but the drunk brunch is pretty amazing and a good value to boot. Between my group we tried the burger, brisket, pancakes, and the coriander bacon. My dietician will probably want to have words with me, but my belly is very happy.
Great food, not traditional BBQ. The short ribs fall perfectly off the bone. I'd consider it fusion. Awesome interior, and a nice staff.
Was alittle nervous going to this Asian-influenced, rave reviewed restaurant that recently opened on Carmine street but the trepidation was for naught. While I didn't fully understand the menu descriptions I knew enough to venture for the sweet breads, chicken and their famous ribs. Fantastic ! The preparation and spices add such a new flavoring to all dishes on the menu. And don't forget the chocolate thunder dessert.
