| - Went here with 5 others for my bday dinner. I felt bad because we sat at the communal table and two people from our party were late (like really late...30 min and 1 hour) and it was a Saturday night so it was crazy busy. Normally I'd expect the staff to hate us for this, but they were still nice. The decor is minimal but cozy - they even have the old Galaxy donuts sign downstairs. The food is also really simple but good, made with quality ingredients and done in interesting ways. The only thing I'd say about the tasting menu is that it's not a lot of food. I thought $45 was reasonable for a salad course, two mains, and dessert, but normally that many courses would leave me stuffed. This was just fine for me (my boyfriend said he was still hungry though, so be warned if you normally eat a lot).
Probably not worth reviewing the actual food we had since the menu changes, but I will say that the trout, whatever they did to it, was amazing. So was the gnocchi. The dessert was cake topped with (allegedly) whipped yogurt (& honey), but honestly it tasted exactly like whipped cream. If it was really yogurt then I'm impressed. My friend who ordered bar snacks had the cook bring them out to her, and he was really cute & explained everything.
Good deal on Steigl and good cocktails. I'd definitely come back, but would recommend making reservations (or show up early for the communal table).
