4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 April 2013

Restaurant is quite well decorated very urban, and trendy. food was better than expected, and the service was remarkably efficient considering they had several big parties, mostly girl parties. the place turned into a full blown club quite busy for a tuesday night, a lot of young people. I had a great time

I had a wonderful time celebrating my friend's birthday at this restaurant. They sectioned off part of the room so we could have a private space to eat. The food was good, and the service was as well. But the restaurant is now under new management

We appreciated the small plates, and everything we tried was fine. I would have appreciated not having the TV and music blaring.

I went here with a client for dinner this week. Food was pretty good, and service was great. The restaurant seemed a little worn. Wall/booth coverings were sagging, prices were high for what we got and the bathroom had no hand towels, drier or any other way to dry your hands. Whatever they used to have had been torn out...

I've walked by here dozens of times but never thought of going in because there's really no sign outside, just 101 etched in the glass door (but there is upscale beachy furniture for sidewalk dining). Inside is a very large room, done in various shades of grey, with a modern, renovated warehouse feel to it. It was very quiet (few... More

In all fairness, we had hoped to eat at Dragonfly next door, but they had a 90 minute wait. Someone had recommended 101 so we tried it. The place had a cool vibe, but the staff seemed unprepared. We asked at the desk what type of restaurant it was and they asked each other, but couldn't seem to describe it.... More

They changed the menu a litltle recently so I am hoping some of their outstanding dishes havent changed that they have for brunch such as lobster crepes. I tried some new things for dinner recently. The lobster bisque was nothing to talk about. Fish tacos always taste great but there is hardly any fish in them. I turn the 3... More

Our group had 4 different dishes - all in the small category (they are categorized on the menu as small, medium, large, and extra large). Wonderful selections and all beautifully presented and tasty. The spicy shrimp pasta dish was a large enough portion for a dinner with lots of shrimp and the kobe sliders (3) were fabulous. Drinks were excellent... More

Reservation online - very convenient. We took four different entries (they call them "large"), four different appetizers (they call them "small"). All of them were very good. "Small" was large for tappo size, "large" was not oversized meal portion. We were sitting in a "private" corner behind a tall divider.
