still love this place. had every intention of going into the dining room (twice) to take advantage of the screamin' steal of a prix fixe menu ($89 for 4 courses), but didn't make it past the bar. and the drinks. ooooooh, the drinks. you had me at 'smoked barrel stave'.
please never remove the foie gras custard from my life. I will die without it. the scallops were perfectly cooked (albeit a little sub-gary danko, sorry),and I fought my husband to the fork (princess bride, anyone?) for the beef belly, but the drinks are really the best part of this place. and robert, at the bar. just trust him and put your palate (and your credit card) into his hands.
