Nevertheless, Elevator Man unwittingly made the point that people who work out tend to watch what they eat, and that would seem to preclude them from chowing down at Alan T's very often. As a result, the restaurant has had to be more creative and flexible than others in figuring out, then meeting, clientele's demands. With all this extra stuff going on, the restaurant suffers a bit. The staff is not attentive to arriving guests, leaving them standing in the doorway. Don't worry, the chlorine smells of the health club dissipate once you're in the restaurant.
Dinner starts fairly enough.
In between the layers are a bit of ahi and tomatoes soaked in tapenade sauce, with tangy capers brightening the flavors. The dish is draped with spinach, another plus for the health crowd. It's served with the usual cocktail sauce, also spiked with the tasty cilantro-ginger combo. This restaurant also does well when it sticks to basics like salads and burgers. Certain entrees are subject to overkill.
