I've had to add my comments, mainly to underline the concencus; this film has been woefully underexposed considering its quality.
This is a tight piece of work. There are clear but useful metaphors such as the rush between plots and stories being reflected by the rush of the service counter. There are some accurate truths about restaurants such as the fights and the sweat in the kitchen being distilled into glorious amuse bouche. There is an intimacy between the characters compounded by the packed tables and the candlelight.
I have been that barman btw. Everyone's my friend, I am the oracle. Excellent.
All in all, a splendid and tasty platter, highly recommended. It must also have been done on a budget of under $4-5 million too, so hats off.
The only thing I could have done with would have been more of the sexy black lass Ken chats up at the bar. Still, this film knows a lot about making one's mouth water.
