Lobby At Twelve Description:
The young-and-beautiful crowd gathers around the bar literally two and three deep, waiting for a spot and talking it up with friends. Noise levels are pretty high, but in the restaurant, one still can hear at the table. Service, however, is woefully slow. Dishes range from the blah to the very satisfying. We recommend the deep-fried ginger-kissed clams, their clam flavor roaring through and perked up just enough by the touch of ginger. Tuna tartare also rates, with its accompanying creamy avocado. For mains, get the braised beef cheeks, tender morsels with the merest suggestion of a Moroccan harissa-like spice, perhaps the kitchen's best dish. A hanger steak, however, is a very oddly butchered piece of meat that, although properly cooked as ordered, may have very little flavor. A good lunchtime bet is the hamburger. Breakfast offers some unique specials, and features wood-oven wraps. Our favorite enfolds robiola cheese, fried egg and arugula in a tasty two-hander. Happy hour rules with specially priced special drinks from 5 p.m.-7 p.m. Wednesdays through Fridays.
