Editorial Review

Swished-out Logan hotspot is so minimal your belly button is vanishing. Post-modern painted white brick contrasts cream walls, twiggy brown barriers. Suspended Viking longboat skeleton on the ceiling is cool, not creepy. Chatty self-conscious associates sport shiny buckles, love using New Courier font. Brandish conflicting colognes that confuse the palate. Frou-frou ingredients do not always equal sum of their parts. Waiter, there's a baby octopus in my salad. Consensus is that neon cocktails trump entrées.
