| - I got a kick out of reading the other reviewers, commenting on the enthusiasm and passion of the 'wait staff'. I went two nights in a row (having been impressed the first night, and wanting to sit outdoors on a hot evening the second night) and I too was struck (and annoyed at first) by the waiter. Telling him I was from the Bay Area silenced him a bit (he seemed to realize we have good grub there too!) but he was foaming at the mouth talking about the menu items.
Anyway - everything WAS fabulous, I have to admit. And I'm a picky SOB. The tastes were really something.
Why only 4 stars - because - like way too many high-end/fancy places - they don't sell 'simple beer'. I'm all for places carrying 'interesting' beer selections, I really am ... but ... I want my beer to be cold and refreshing, not super tasty. So I want either a Corona, a Heineken, or something similar. In desperation, I followed the recommendation of the waiter and had some Belgian extravagance, which turned out to be 8% alcohol and gave me a lousy hangover the next day ... so please, please, please folks - get off the beer-snob bandwagon and sell Corona / Heineken!
