| - A-OK.
Great internal ambience, wide selection of interesting food, terrific portions that are larger than expected without being too big.
I had the Moroccan Tuna, which was impressively plated, and had the most wonderful flavor to it, but just didn't have much going on as a whole; it needed a side dish or second course served simultaneously to not get bored with the same taste over and over again. The tuna itself was good enough to eat raw, but probably was destined to be sliced thinner; the butterknife I had wasn't quite enough to go cross-grain.
The other person I ate with had the venison, which was the exact opposite of my dish; at least five distinct flavors on the plate, almost too much going on, but pretty darn awesome nonetheless. This seemed to be the winner on the menu, from what we could tell.
Was told we were getting bread, and had to ask for it from another waiter after the first course because it'd been forgotten. They forgot a steak knife with the venison. Overall, service was slowish, although never so slow that it was a problem.
The "French 75" at the bar was probably the best I've had.
For $75ish a person (three courses, one drink) plus another $12 on a drink at the bar waiting for our reservation, it just didn't feel worth going back anytime soon; at that price range, I'm looking for amazing, outstanding, perfect, superb... not just A-OK. I might head back for lunch sooner, as that seems to be reviewed well.
