Even though it’s just opened, and is surrounded by numerous eating-out options in the vicinity, Apicius, located on the eighth floor of a new building, seems to be giving stiff competition to its counterparts. This was evident when we walked into a packed house one weekend. The expansive area is divided into two sections: an alfresco space with seating arrangements and an indoor space, primarily for those who would like to dance. Both sections had their individual bar corners.
