solid 4.5 stars.
ambiance: 4 stars - was a bit loud for my preference. Definitely better on the dining room side than the bar side, but if there's a big group of people dining at a table, it gets louder than I typically like. also, good idea to make a reservation.
service: 5 stars, just the right balance of attentive without interfering or being annoying.
appetizers: 5 stars. we had the heirloom tomato salad and the chicken liver mouse. both outstanding.
entrees: 4 stars. we had the Tagliatelle and the crispy chicken. both dishes i found a bit too salty. we both felt the appetizers were the winners over the entrees.
cocktails: 4.5 stars - delicious, but wish there was a larger menu.
looking forward to seeing how the restaurant and the menu progresses!
