I ate at the new Barracks Row location on Friday. I have only been to the Chinatown location once before. Overall, everything ran very smoothly - not at all what I expected on opening night. There seemed to be a good size crowd, we arrived early - 5:45ish - and the bar was full, but not packed. Got a table in a few minutes on the upper level. We got the sliders and a couple pizzas.
The restaurant is beautiful. It will make all the other restaurants in the area look bad. Definitely more than repainting the walls and throwing up a few paintings from the region that the food is based on, which is pretty much what everyone seems to do.
When we left around 7, the bar was packed and there were at least 10 people waiting outside - which is saying something seeing how cold it was.
I can't wait to go back! Welcome to the neighborhood!
