| - This place is amazing. I organized a bachelorette party this weekend, and I had to change the time at the last minute, so we were moved upstairs. I was worried, since the website photos are of the first floor and the second is very different, but it's just gorgeous! Dark, with romantic lighting, the corner booths were great for a large party (12 people), and into the evening a stand up bass player with a pianist provided great mood music.
The drinks. We were here in part for the drinks. I tried a straight up drink for the first time and hated it (just too strong for me) - when I asked to mix it with some kind of pop, our excellent server (Kira) suggested I exchange it with another drink to suit my tastes. Off a few adjectives the bartender made me an Eagle's Dream, which blew my mind! So delicious. I think the bartender (Oliver) is psychic or something, he did this for another guest and she loved hers too.
The food was fantastic - I got steak and frites, which was everything I hoped. Two people I saw send back their steaks because they weren't cooked enough, one wanted it medium and the other well done. The steak pieces are VERY thick, so if you need your steak without red in it you should probably order something else. The refire didn't really work for my medium friend because of the thickness. For people who like medium rare or rarer it's just delicious, and cooked to perfection. The fries were crispy and well seasoned, and the flourless chocolate cake for dessert was impressive. I wasn't expecting something so light - it tasted kind of like the inside of a lava cake, or a cross between cake and mousse. Very rich and chocolatey, the guests were raving even though most of us were too full to finish!
We were there for ages, Kira quickly fixed a small error with our bill (just a mistake on the prix fixe cost), and our whole group had a delightful time. I highly recommend this place, and if your server is Kira you've lucked out!
