This was late afternoon when the restaurant was not very crowded, but due to openings in the floor from the bar scene upstairs the downstairs is always loud, too. The building itself is cool and has a nice view of the harbor, but not for anyone without a hefty trust fund. Martini's were at least $12 and not that great. Food was tasteless art. Overall it's an expensive pick up spot for 20 somethings with mediocre food and very expensive drinks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20215605.post-17807277058228500032007-03-03T17:18:00.000-08:002007-03-03T17:18:00.000-08:00That's funny.

Out of the three entrees I had I liked the Quesadilla Salad the best and there's a number of other items on the menu I want to try. And the parking was never quite as bad as I was expecting it to be. Your best bet is for a weeknight or a weekend afternoon.ChristianZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10926523379961771939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20215605.post-1152808513766028062006-07-13T09:35:00.000-07:002006-07-13T09:35:00.000-07:00Mmm...eventhough Carter's dishes sounded less than...Mmm...eventhough Carter's dishes sounded less than stellar, those pictures are making my mouth water.

This is not just because I don't drink alcohol but also for people who do who may be looking for more options, including authentic Mexican options such as horchata or aguas frescas. There were also some minor issues with the food. I repeat: "minor." My whole rating system is fairly loose and arbitrary. I never want to portray a restaurant as being so bad that people should not try them out unless there is some pretty intentional rudeness or screwup on the part of the restaurant. Kantina is definitely worth checking out. I've been three times and will be going back again.ChristianZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10926523379961771939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20215605.post-1152723316801787502006-07-12T09:55:00.000-07:002006-07-12T09:55:00.000-07:00Woah, filet mignon burritos and tupperware to-go b...Woah, filet mignon burritos and tupperware to-go boxes!
