| - Outstanding dinner. Believe the five star rating. Creative pairings of food without being precious or silly. Fresh, fresh, fresh food. Excellent flavors from herbs, and you've never seen such fresh herbs on a plate. Professional and friendly owner. Could have huge attitude, given the demand for reservations, but doesn't. Uncorked our sparkling wine, kept it chilled, poured refills until it was all gone (we had a cab). The restaurant is small, but not cramped, and I think some reviews make it sound like this is some sort of hole in the wall with an eccentric dining room. It is not. The decor is tasteful and warm The kitchen is part of the room, but you can be as aware of it as you choose. Christopher had PHilip helping as a waiter, and he did a great job. The first course was super fresh and delicious salad with mint, cucumber, tomato, and other things, with a large, thin piece of flatbread, itself fantastic. We shared entrees. My poached salmon with orzo/mint?/other ingredients, and her grilled Rosemary chicken over cheesy polenta. All of it was incredible. Dessert was pastry, strawberries, whipped cream, chocolate ice cream or ganache? Another home run. We will be back.
