Ate at the new Ginger for the first time in years(Don't get to the "big city" much!) and left feeling ambivalent about the food and service. Our waiter demanded respect.. he told us what to order, frowned on...

Lively Asian Food

Boisterous restaurant: crowded and bustling and noisy. Food is delicious and well-prepared: don't forget to order the vegetables--TASTY!! Order the small plates and prepare to feast!

Best kept secret bar

The bar sells the same food as at the tables, but without the wait or extras. The soups are a real deal for under $5 and everything is excellent. Drinks are okay but the bartenders quite entertaining.

A sad echo of its former self.

The food is still generally outstanding. The new space is larger and "colder", with a claustrophobic bar. The service can be stunningly bad. The original staff was warm, friendly, unobtrusive, with that...
