| - Wow. What can I say that hasn't already been said?
The space is beautiful and modern.
The cocktail and wine menu is presented via ipad so you can filter by price/country/grape/etc. I expected a varied wine list, but I was pleasantly surprised by the 2 delicious cocktails we had. Very well made and presented with cool huge ice cubes. Bonus points for having some inventive mocktails in there!
You already know the food is delicious. We followed all the yelp recommendations and they are spot on:
tuna tartare (great, as expected).
Bone marrow flan (a must-try. I was scared to try it, but the waiter talked me into it and I'm so glad he did! It's a custard...a baby step to straight marrow).
Pretzel bread (It really is not an exaggeration to say, "best pretzel roll of your life.")
Nebraska ribeye (great steak. Duh)
Pork chop (this will surprise you - it's so smooth, not chewy, lighter than a steak)
Creamed spinach with egg (a unique flavor, love the twist on the steakhouse classic)
Mushrooms & peppers (the surprise of the meal. Loved it)
Baked Alaska (very good, but potentially too sweet. Not that I didn't eat it of course!)
The service was great the entire night, and I think that is what really set this experience apart for us. Everybody was friendly, offered great recommendations, anticipated every need, but not pushy or intrusive. They really made us feel like VIPs.
For all our food, plus cocktails, wine and dessert wines....$350. Obviously it's expensive, but seriously worth it for a splurge meal. You could easily conserve by splitting a main (it's a ton of meat, neither of us finished), skipping dessert, and having only one glass of wine each.
