Great cocktails (try the hand in glove) and sharing menu! The miso glazed chicken wings, smoked trout rillette and the brussel sprouts were the standouts. I wouldn't bother again with the octopus carpaccio and the steak tartare was fine but not memorable. The frites were also great, I love crispy, thin fries, and these were right up my alley.
I didn't have any issues with the brightness (or lack thereof). We sat at the bar, so maybe that helped. I will say that the bathrooms were unnecessarily dark, lit by a single tea light. My boyfriend said he saw a light switch, but I could not possibly have seen it. A girl also walked in as I was washing my hands - apparently I couldn't see well enough to lock the door properly either.
