Welcome- Three month in advance reservation got us a uneven booth facing the wall.
Service- bitchy, with a slight veneer of politeness- from at least two waiters. They grimly accepted our apology for accidentally being difficult.
Food- I enjoyed my food after they "allowed" only one person at the table to have the prix fixe menu.
Timing: Start to finish- 2 1/2 hours- gobbled downed our entree to make a show at the Pearl.
Any silver lining- Yes, its a very nicely designed restaurant. If you could see it, you can watch the ceiling change colors. Also, we were given complimentary champagne since we were celebrating a special occasion.
