Hallelujah! I have found somewhere that is up to the standard of my favourites (such as Museum Tavern) in terms of food quality, service, ambience etc.
This was my first time here - the wall colours/design are somewhat reminiscent of Miami bars circa the 80's. The seating is elegant and comfortable. I LOVE the marble table tops and the spaciousness. The washrooms (same floor, wide doors and stalls, looks to be accessible - bravo!) are clean and open. Great hand soap and hand balm (sadly didn't get to try the latter) too! Note: coat hooks are conveniently located on the wall across from the bathroom doors.
David was our server - attentive, friendly, professional. Couldn't ask for more. The menu isn't huge but I'd be willing to be that everything on it is excellent. I'd ordered the Pinot Grigio but they were out (fortunately) so David offered a different one from Portugal. For the life of me I can't remember the name but it was GREAT!!! I had the potato gnocchi with grated truffles $32 (not cheap, I know) but FANTASTIC!! The texture of the gnocchi was perfect. The buttery goodness that they're deliciously drenched in is what I would like to bathe my entire body with. They didn't scrimp on the truffles at all - what a wonderful treat! My dining companion had what was their equivalent of the Margherita pizza - as soon as I bit into it, I recognized the tangy dance of San Marzano tomatoes that were used in the sauce. Also excellent! Desserts were good as well. I had the mille feuille - good but I wanted it to be eggier and more like a Napoleon - my problem, I know. My companion had the vanilla gingerbread mousse, which was fantastic! I d DEFINITELY come back here. Everything here from start to finish was absolutely perfect! Also? They text you a confirmation reminder of your reservation. Brilliant. If you haven't been here - you should definitely check it out. Added bonus? You can hear your companion - fun background music and not annoying crap. Win/win!
