    This place is wonderful! As with all restaurants, some of the dishes are better than others (yes to the mussels, beef (no surprise NYT named it a best bite), really interesting cocktails; meh to the pretty tough lamb). The service is absolutely incredible. Monique knew we were celebrating and she, her colleagues, and the kitchen went out of there way to make the evening special. I will never forget their kindness. The only bummer were the loud politicos talking shop beside us. (The tables are close together and those folks apparnelty didn't know how to use their indoor voices. A bit more space btw tables would be awesome.) Can't wait to go back and try dishes that are now favorites and taste new ones. <3

    Loved every aspect of it except the noise from other customers. It was hard to have a discussion at the table.
