This was a genuinely posh experience, and I'd go back in a heartbeat.
The service was impeccable, can you believe that my water glass never even approached empty. A quick note for the savvy diner: they have a happy hour that ends at 6 p.m. We missed it with our 7 p.m. reservation, but it's on my list for next time.
As for the food, my steak frites was absurdly tender, possibly the best I've ever had. Two of my dining companions were initially skeptical of the single Maryland crab cake, but it proved to be rich and satisfying enough that they both left happy. Another friend's beef cheeks pasta was so generously portioned she couldn't finish it, and very happily left with lunch for the next day.
The ambiance is dark, intimate, and cozy. An interesting touch is that all the tables and booths are high-tops. This might sound odd, but it actually adds to the intimacy, as the waitstaff are at eye level with you. This place strikes a great balance and seems like it would be perfect for a date night but also comfortably accommodates larger groups too. There was actually a party of eight in a booth near us.
For the quality of the food and experience, the prices were surprisingly reasonable. A definite winner and I will be back. read more
