| - I took the boyfriend here for a birthday dinner, and it was fabulous! The decor had a more modern feel and was lovely, and they had our table ready the moment we got there (we had a reservation). We tried the pork rilletes as an appetizer, and it was interesting but delicious. I had the braised lamb shoulder, which was tender and full of flavor. The waiter suggested a perfect red wine for my meal, and it made everything come together that much more. Boyfriend had the casulette, which he loved (as did I, because of course we have to sample each other's meals). Dessert I had the almond cake (amazing!) and boyfriend had the Napoleon (also great). We also had French press Jamaican coffee, and that ended the meal just right.
The only reason this isn't a 5 star rating is because our waiter was pretty busy with us, 2 other tables, and a large party in the back. He was a bit slow to attend to us at times (which we totally understood and weren't upset about). However, when my boyfriend had finished both his soda and water and wanted a refill (after waiting for a good amount of time with no sight of our waiter) he flagged down another waiter and asked for a refill. This waiter simply said that our waiter would get it for him, and walked away. We were a bit surprised that for such an upscale restaurant, the staff wouldn't be willing to help each other out to make sure all patrons were taking care of.
Still, this was a lovely dinner and great experience. We will be back!
