I was here for the first time a few weeks ago, i.e. after the renovations. What a great spot! I had the brisket and mac'n'cheese side dish. Both were delicious. I enjoyed them to the last bite, even though they're both rich and can be the sort of dish that loses its impact after a while.
Service was friendly. Both the atmosphere and the menu are comfortable and sophisticated. That's a tough balancing act, especially without getting too pretentious, but they pull it off.
