My fiancee and I attended here shortly after I proposed. Even though we arrived 20 minutes past their normal seating hours, they were very accommodating and did not rush us at all. Champagne was on the house.
The noise level was slightly more than I was expecting though it wasn't a loud restaurant by any means. The food was excellent. We ordered the gravlax and blini as an appetizer, followed by two entrees---trout with pine nuts and pomegranates, and braised beef with carrots and dauphinoise potatoes. My fiancee and I LOVED the appetizer. The trout wasn't overly flavorful but my fiancee enjoyed it anyway. The beef, however, was perfect---juicy and tender. For dessert we had the mocha pot de creme---also highly recommended.
We appreciate Cowell and Hubbard making this past Sunday such a wonderful evening for us. We hope to return soon.
