| - NOW, THIS was a TRULY PHENOMENAL dining experience! It entirely wiped away my disgustingly dreadful encounter with Flemmings earlier in this month.
First of all let me mention, from top to bottom and beginning to end, every single person was GLORIOUS, attentive, thoughtful, and at the top of their game. Hannah (the hostess), then Raelynda (our waitress), all the runners and bussers, and finally Xavier, the Assistant General Manager; each person was a finely tuned instrument in a superb orchestra making it a perfect evening.
We hit tons of traffic on the way, and so we were 20 minutes late to our reservation. I had called ahead to warn them but still didn't have high hopes, but Hannah kept us in the queue, and we received a table almost immediately. We had to make a 7:30 curtain for a show, so we had only precisely an hour to get a meal in, and Raelynda was incredible at expediting the entire dinner yet not making us feel rushed. She also made excellent suggestions and maneuvered our party's long list of dietary restrictions with aplomb!
Everything was delicious and impeccable: some of the dishes (pictured) we sampled were:
Colorado Lamb Porterhouse Chops peewee potatoes, dried apricots & violet mustard; Asparagus & Fried Egg; Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes & White Cheddar; Lamb Cigars & Tzatziki Sauce; I also had 9 oysters from the raw bar - fresh and yummy!
The Rye Manhattan was also so ambrosial that I had to order a second!
This place should unquestionably have an honored place on your list of trusted regular haunts!!! GO GO GO!!!
