Impala's diverse décor includes a mosaiclike wall, a DJ alcove, and a huge framed mirror that's easy to get lost in.

The menu was devised by Executive Chef Kerry Simon, whose sobriquet as the "Rock 'n' Roll" chef seemed more apropos, tonight, than his tutelage at the Culinary Institute of the Arts and under Frenchmen Andre Soltner and Jean-Georges Vongerichten. His current gig opening "Simon at the Hard Rock" in Las Vegas probably precludes any time spent in Impala's kitchen (though he might want to fly in for a little recalibrating).

I can't comment further on dessert. When we tried to order it, we were told the kitchen had closed at 11, a few minutes earlier, and I guess there was nobody around qualified to cut a piece of tres leche cake or scoop out a sorbet. They would have to sell nine $2 beers to make up for us, but the evening was still young.
