Would not recommend this place for dinning. The food is mediocre
at best and the service is absolutely terrible. Went on a weeknight
when the place was not that crowded and it took twenty minutes
to get our first appetizer. The appetizer was cold and all of the
food served that night was average. The bar is nice and the flavored
vodkas are good but not good enough to dine here.

The food at infusion is solid, the flavors of each dish come together
in a delightful melange of flavors. Increadibly buttery, velvety
mussels with a high-note of lime, ahi tartare with piquant papadams,
the sweetness of the porkchop counterbalanced by the surprisingly
light beans lying underneath. As the evening wears on, certainly
sampling the flavored vodka wares helps to create an exceedingly
pleasant sensation in stomach and head.
However, the kitchen seems a bit slow, particularly on busy evenings
when all the tables are full (even, surprisingly, on a tuesday
evening). While the staff was polite and pleasant (with fanatically
dedicated bus-boys), they nonetheless lost our entree order...a
situation which could easily have been rectified by a comp, or
having various things (like the drinks) disappear from the check,
but neither occured. While this was likely an anomaly, nonetheless,
I have some hesitation about going back again. While the food
was good, the ambiance was somewhat lacking--the interior is
reminiscent of a coffee-house: not particularly memorable
or mood setting.
Infusion is a pleasant place to spend an evening with friends
or multiple friends, but for the money, I think you're better
off heading to Chow or Park Chow.

Their infused vodkas are weak and watery compared to those
I make myself at home. We tried six or seven of them, and
most were not drinkable. We asked 3 times that the recorded
music be turned down, because we couldn't hear ourselves
talk. It was turned down a fraction, then back up. We gave
up. The food was uneven -- some dishes good, some mediocre.
Then the 3-piece band started up and it was even LOUDER than
the recorded music. We left, very unhappy with the experience.
Don't go there if you need to have a conversation. They
should sell small "tastes" of their vodkas, but don't, so you
end up ordering way more than you need just to find one you
like. Trendy, but not quality oriented.

The name comes form their trademark drink-vodkas infused with assorted
fruits, veggis, beans etc. But the food definately
stands on its own. The kitchen is very innovative, especially
with their specials. My favorite is the guava empenadas.
Live music nightly- accoustic (though it can be quite loud
sometimes) rock and blues.
