We were invited by friends who have come here frequently to try the place. No need to rehash the concept: other reviewers have done that well.
Our experiences: We ordered soup, salad and appetizer. The soup came out before the appetizer. The server made like this was intentional but I think he or the kitchen messed up. Not that it was a big deal, just disconcerting. I had the Oxtail Consomme. It was pretty watery with traces of beef flavor and some vegetables floating in it and some trace of fat from the beef. I didn't finish it...not that exciting.
My wife and I love calamari, so we ordered the Crispy Calamari and Octopus Carpaccio. Imagine our surprise when the plate arrived with 4 little calamari, paper thin octopus, and a shot glass of ceviche. While all were very tasty, it was not very filling, to say the least. No wonder we kept asking for more bread!
I will say, as another reviewer did, that everything was presented nicely with decoration, definitely done with care.
Desserts were presented ahead of time, and all were good. Crepes Suzette were finished tableside. Then a small dessert sampler was also presented to the table after the check was delivered.
So, the verdict:
* Service - Good. Strong effort, friendly, and mostly good execution
* Ambience - Very good. Relatively quiet, cozy
* Food presentation - Excellent
* Food taste - Overall very good
* Value - While you get what you pay for, you will leave hungry unless a) you have a tiny tummy, or b) you drink lots of water with your meal (I did that and still wasn't full), or c) have lots of bread
I'd go back with friends, but not too often, as I need my dining out dollar to go far.
