| - This is a bit of an odd one because the ambiance and decor don't match the food that we had. We went for Restaurant Week and the $30 prix fixe for 2 ended up at $95 with the addition of 2 beers and a glass of wine, plus tip. The food was actually very good and the presentation was very good, too. My steak wasn't high-end steakhouse caliber, yet it was a good piece of meat. Portions were somewhat modest, but reasonable for a classy meal.
Now for the rest... The main area, where we sat, has a very high (2-story) ceiling, with plenty of light. Great, so far. There is another eating area and a bar that have standard ceiling height. There are two types of seating. One is square tables, with white table clothes, and the other is padded benches with outdated mauve tables. Very Denny-ish or like a local diner. They benches were in great shape, but the tables were a little worn around the edges. The table was stocked with a plain salt-and-pepper set and a plain sugar holder. The floor was carpeted, which I only mention because, unless carpeting looks very clean, I view it as a breeding ground for bacteria. Not that it was, just worries me.
Our main waiter was very good. Professional and efficient. The drink waitress seemed more appropriate for a country diner in appearance, demeanor, and dress. The crowd was on the older side (not that there's anything wrong with that, plus I ain't a youngster), which may have been because of the early time we went.
That's about it. If the seating area got a makeover, I'd say this place could be called a moderately high-end restaurant. Then again, if I'd eaten one of the more down home choices, and/or paid just a bit less, it probably would have all come together for me. I'd go back for a $30-40 meal, but if I'm paying $100, I'll be
going elsewhere.
