Did they drop the prices? I haven't been for several years. Even when the dollar was strong, I found it outrageously expensive. But one doesn't go there for the food, does one? So how can it be overrated? One goes there to say one went there. Just like Cafe de flor across the street - Hemingway, Gertrude Stein, etc.
