| - Went in over the weekend with my wife and had what was overall a terrific meal, though there was a notable exception.
Service: Exceptional in every respect. Took great care of us from the moment we arrived, without being overbearing. Was everything service should be at the price point.
Atmosphere: A nice, quiet, reserved environment. Some of the tragicomical blingshevics sitting around us were unfortunate, but there's not much the restaurant can do about that.
Food: They went three for four on this front. My foie was amazing - expertly prepared and delicious, with an unusual assortment of accompaniments that added to the dish. My wife's starter salad was quite good - nothing remarkable, but she was very happy with it. Her main course was truly exceptional - the veal was remarkable, the sauce to die for. My main was the major flaw. The ravioli was thin, watery, underseasoned and tasteless. I wish I could say it was forgettable. For a restaurant of this calibre, either a) the kitchen screwed up my dish or b) this simply should not be on the menu.
Beverages: Did a great job with a non-alcoholic drink for my wife, which was much appreciated. The wine list was shockingly overpriced (wine that I'm used to seeing for $7 priced at $80), but the glasses I had were fine, and the table service was well-executed.
I'd certainly go back, but would stay well away from that ravioli
