Everyone was helpful, low-key, and seemed happy to be working there. Pleasant small room, quirky but non-annoying music. For me, BYOB is a huge plus (unlike for one of the other reviewers) especially since with prices like this, it's nice to save money somewhere! \n\nHaving heard (mostly) wonderful reports of the chef, I told the waiter that I would eat whatever the chef wanted to make for me. That turned out to be two hamburger-sized tenderloins topped with grilled foie gras and set on a base of some fabulous cheesy potatoish thing. Who cares what it's really called, it was great! Between the tenderloin were some thin green beans. (Here and at Casbah {and Whole Foods} they call them haricots verts -- meaning \"green beans\".) It was all flavorful, tender, beautifully seasoned, marvelous. My companion had lamb but I can't tell you anything about it because she ate it all.\n\nThe waiter told me that they are happy to do a tasting menu, but that you should let them know you want that when you make a reservation."^^ .
