Art tea is no ordinary brew.  Served in a wine glass to showcase its delightful presentation, one can watch the splendor of the unfolding flower while contemplating entrees to come.  Of course, if you’re here because you’ve forgotten that the other Ferry building restaurants close up shop early on the weeknights, then you must also be content to have snapped up the last two consecutive barstools amidst a row of other fine diners.  The bar is a nice spot for an elegant weeknight bite and bit of chit chat.  Dallas, Los Angeles, London, just a few of the cities we’re thinking about tonight.  And the babies we remember in each one.  Why does the world seem so large and yet so small at the same time?  Thoughts are more than welcome.  In the meantime…Copenhagen…Sydney perhaps…here we come. 

Chances of coming back: Having a reservation is a good idea, otherwise get cozy in the lounge while you wait two hours.

Why here: Elaborate drinks, hip crowd, guaranteed good food, the satisfaction of actually having a reservation, perhaps, the need for a mid-week pick-me-up?

Belly buster?: Save room for dessert; it’s always a tight squeeze by this point…but so worth it.
