We went here twice last year and had excellent food and service both times. The chef even came out to chat with the diners which was a nice touch. We were there again recently and although my husband enjoyed his meal (the rack of lamb and lobster potato leek soup) I found both my selections very salty, so much so that I couldn't finish my entree. However, the amuse bouche (squab leg) and complimentary dessert taster were nice touches. The restaurant wasn't very busy but even so the service was a tad slow. In general, this is a lovely place with a very talented chef who comes up with interesting taste combinations. You won't find the same food anywhere else.
We have been here a few times now and have always had good food and service. Yes, it can get a bit loud on Friday and Saturday nights but then go a different night if you want a quieter atmosphere. My husband loves the charcuterie with a variety of cheeses and condiments. We often let the server decide on the combination and surprise us. The little loaf of bread that it comes with is warm and soft. We have also tried the soup of the day (always good, especially the broccoli cheese soup when they have it), as well as several salads. The only thing I've not enjoyed is the pea sprout side salad (tastes like grass). The best thing on the menu is the amazing Thomas Haas chocolate lava cake. Amazing!! Best. Dessert. Ever.
