About me:
When it comes to choosing a restaurant, I always want a second opinion, so Yelp used to be a perfect solution (even though I never thought I would post my own reviews). Although their ranking system seemed overly manipulated, Yelp was a convenient source for restaurant info, so I constantly referenced it. But when highly rated restaurants on the site began to fall flat, I was inclined to set the record straight. Over 50 yelp reviews later, I had had enough and decided to create The Confoodant, a place where a network of trusted food enthusiasts could grow and post their opinions.
Is it just a blog?
Confoodant.com is still in development, but the network of confoodants has already begun to grow and are invited to post their reviews on The Confoodant blog until the real website is up and running. The blog doesn't provide the features that the full site will, but just think of it as a temporary home to start sharing restaurant tips with people you trust (and who trust you).

On decor, this place really hits the mark. It is spacious, elegant, exotic, comfy, all somehow at the same time. You could be at some luxurious outpost of South East Asia. Also, and I rarely say this, good music.
I have not eaten here, although I can't wait to update this review with my take on their hash, which just won Best of New York in New York Magazine.
However, the drinks. I ordered off the menu, and got a great, ever so slightly spicy, something or other, and I loved it. My two male, fuss-budget companions, however, went all fancy, making the bartender invent something and ordering things off the menu. Less good. So, it's no Little Branch. But, stick to what they recommend, and you should do fine.
This place has a great look--but I wouldn't go back or recommend, unless you're on a drinks date and want interesting cocktails. One dish, a spicy beef salad, was flavorful and interesting, but my pho and summer roles left a lot to be desired. It actually made me wish I was at Saigon Grill with all the clanking plates and delivery-guy drama.
