| - Another restaurant with great food, and fantastic service.
Went here while family was in town visiting. They're not on Open Table to make reservations, but we called and got reso's with like a 4 hour warning and we were fine.
We had a 6:30pm Saturday reso and the place was almost empty, so we got the place almost to ourselves (of note, is that we stayed well past 9pm, and the restaurant still never had more than 3-4 tables going other than ours). This could have played into the service, which was excellent. It is super rare to find a server who was that attentive and charming.
I opened with the French Onion Soup (a theme this weekend as I had it the night before at L'Avenue as well) and it was pretty good. But the main dishes.... now THAT'S where it was at. I had the Bison Rib Eye steak. Man, was this thing tasty. Another in our party ordered the venison chops, and I was told these were also excellent.
Of note is that one of our party had dietary restrictions on dairy, so she ordered the sorbet (sidenote: their ice cream and sorbet is supplied by Ed's Real Scoop from down the block, read my review on them... they have the best gelato ever!) as her desert. After the server left our table, we were just talking and my party member began talking about how she misses chocolate, and couldn't have any of the chocolate deserts on the menu because they all have cream or milk or whatever, so the server comes over says he heard her talking about the chocolate, and if she wanted to switch her desert, he would have the kitchen make her a dairy free chocolate mousse to hit that chocolate craving. Nicely done old chap... nicely done...
So we had a fantastic time at this place. You should go.
Final notes: They told us they're now open Sunday at 11am for brunch. They're also renovating their back patio (so now they'd have one on the front and a larger one on the back) which should be ready in a couple weeks in time for the warm season. I'd say hit this place up if you're in the area and have the cash to burn. You'll get what you pay for. In this case, it was excellence.
Win.
