I was amused and intrigued to see Schwartz with such rave reviews, I thought they might have changed something since my last visit - probably about 6 years ago...
They hadn't, it is still a pretty average takeout, better than McDonald's but not exactly a shining example of a burger.

Simple little Italian cafe with reasonable food, nothing to write home about.

Went for a late lunch on a weekday, we were the only people there. Excellent meat, cooked to perfection and superbly crisp crisp chips served in a plant pot.
Easily in the same league as the nearby Argentine steak house, and about 30% less expensive.
Can't wait to go back and have the rib roast to share :)

Even with a different name, this place is just an extension of the Desperadoes below.
Pretty appalling! Tacos looked like they had been prepared many hours earlier, let's be clear about this; a taco shell *should not* be soft and dissolving around the beef. While we are here one other thing to explain, a BBQ steak *does not* mean a pan fried steak swimming in barbecue sauce...

Wow, what an awesome lunchtime secret. Great food, entertainingly stereotypical Italian staff - feels like you walked into a basement in old Siena.
Definitely will go back!

A fun game to play, try and imagine a single product that exists in the world - odds are that it will be here with an M&M character stuck to the side.
The M&M branded Chinese soup spoon was my favorite eclectic brand tie in.

Book early, tables are difficult to come by. Make sure you have plenty of disposable income too, because it wont be cheap.
But, by golly, this is the best contemporary Chinese in town !

Bubble tea made in a laboratory, it's pretty good - gotta pick the right flavour though!

So after waiting 20 minutes for a 'reserved' table, watching a completely chaotic front-of-house try to deal with three couples arriving simultaneously, next to the door which didn't quite close properly - creating a howling, icy-cold gale which encircled the small, packed restaurant. I really wasn't expecting much.
However, after cunningly choosing the only table in the place which wasn't in the breeze, we had superb, ninja-like service from our waiter who brought two excellent steaks, perfectly cooked coupled with a superb Argentine Malbec.
The 4-star rating shows how good the food was, even to forget the rather rocky outset.

Steak, meh!
Service so slow that we decided not to order desert, in the fear we might not receive it before Christmas.
