Shaded mirrors mask time at this dusky restaurant, where clubbers come to wind-up or wind-down their West Chelsea night. A tropical party vibe emanates from palm trees and a colorful bar, while log cabin cabanas, comfy booths and super-wide banquettes strike a cozy balance. The hearty portions of comfort food could spoil any buzz--but nibbling's hardly a compromise when openers and closers are the menu's strongest points. Dunk crisp calamari into tasty sauces such as spicy marinara and saphron aioli, then dig into a warm bread pudding with just the right hint of cinnamon. The mids you won't be missing include a 24-hour diner-style cheeseburger, a rosemary-soaked meat loaf, and the almost-redeeming tamarind-marinated sea bass. (Source: Citysearch.com)
