My mother-in-law heard a while back that they had haluski, and she really wanted to try it. Knowing that spring produce would be on its way in, I figured we were running out of chances. When I called for reservations, I was told I was speaking with the owner, Don, who is basically the nicest guy ever. I asked if they had haluski, and he told me that it was no longer on the menu. I figured the menu might change often, but I knew my mother-in-law would be so sad that she'd missed it. After chatting, he said, \"Let me talk to my chef and I'll call you back.\" He calls me back and says, \"Your mother-in-law will eat haluski on Friday night. Come on in.\" They made her a beautiful plate of gnocchi and braised cabbage, which she loved, and she felt very special and taken care of. Just such a lovely gesture, but that is not the sole reason for my 5 stars. Our whole dinner was amazing. First, they have great cocktails, and our entire table was happy with them. I had a sparkling daiquiri and a sazerac, and I loved both.....that sazerac was seriously awesome. We shared the hummus and the brussels sprouts. The hummus was smoky, smooth and delicious, and it was served with a very generous portion of really great grilled bread. The brussels sprouts were a huge hit, served with slivers of pears, nuts, goat cheese and a cider reduction. My father-in-law (not a lover of brussels sprouts. at all.) kept saying, \"I've just never tasted anything like this. These are delicious. I've just never had anything like this before.\" Very generous portion, and definitely enough for the four of us to share. I had gnocchi and escargot, and the garlic breath I'll have for days is well worth it. The gnocchi were not gummy in the least; they were light and wonderful. The herbal green sauce was bright and pungent, and it was perfect with the escargot; I loved my entree. My husband and father-in-law both got hanger steak, and it was so tender and cooked perfectly. They shared fries. Go there and order fries. I swear they were the best fries; they were like pillows of potatoes. We were so full, but my mother-in-law (who was wise enough to eat half of her plate of haluski and have the rest packed up) wanted dessert, so we shared the panna cotta, which was, again, enough for the four of us to share. It was perfect, and it was topped with pistachio crumble and blood oranges. The wait staff is lovely, and they clearly work well together. The restaurant is beautiful and has a great atmosphere. There are some really unique touches in the decor. My father-in-law remarked on the way home that he appreciated that it wasn't too loud. We will be back soon and we will be telling our friends. If you don't often venture to Troy Hill, start now."^^ . "5"^^ . "0"^^ .
