   Some hits and misses. When we were seated we were brought two of the most perfect dinner rolls I have ever seen or tasted. I ordered a Phony Negroni which was a delicious offering for N/A folks. We ordered two appetizers, the Dudley's eggs and the marinated olives. The deviled eggs were absolutely perfect. I told my wife they were what we always want our homemade deviled eggs to look and taste like but they never ever do. The marinated olives were very good but its a plate of unpitted olives and some onions, lemon peel, capers, etc from thr brine. Very delicious but obviously intended as more of a bar snack to share amongst several people. Our mistake but could be clearer on menu. Our salads were really the highlight of the evening. My wife got the Beet Carpaccio which was absolutely stunning visually as well as an impressive tasting dish. She has never been big on beets but absolutley loved this dish and felt the dressing perfectly pulled everything together. I got the T.G. Salad which was very excellent as well. Good quality blue cheese, bacon and a dijon vinaigrette that was perfectly balanced and had a nice thickness to it. The entrees were were things fell a little flat. They seemed to come to us well after they were prepared because they were not hot. My wife's Dudley pasta was warm at best and the steak frites I ordered, which comes with a dollop of compound butter on top, could barely melt since they steak was so cool. My wife enjoyed her pasta but didn't find anything about it to be as impresive as the other items we'd had. My steak, in addition to being cool, was not really seasoned in anyway other than the butter (which didn't have much salt in it) and tasted very charred as if the grill needed cleaning. Frites were good as were the greens. They did note the anniversary from our Open Table reservation and comped a perfect slice of cheesecake that we entirely too much of. Service overall was good. Ambiance is lively but not too loud. I'd try again.

   This is the second time we have had something way too salty. And we love salt. The T.G. salad was great. My wife loved her cocktail. The Triple Crown and the salmon tartar were not got.

   Very good food and service! Noise level was a little high for me. Tables are a little close!

   Outstanding all around. The scallop dish was delicious. The paprika cream sauce was inventive and worked well with the large and tender scallops. Compliments to the chef! The salmon entree was equally delicious—though my husband likes his salmon well-done—the chef cooked it to perfection (in my opinion). Maybe inquire regarding preference upon ordering? Attentive service and lovely ambience contributed to a delightful experience.

   The service was FANTASTIC - our waiter was personable and available any time we needed him. That having been said - the NY strip was NOT anything even close. It was probably the worst cut of beef I have ever had. The kitchen was backed up and I didn't want to wait another 30-40 min - so I didn't bother sending it back. The rest of the food was AWESOME. LOVED the korean cauliflower - HIGHLY recommend. I don't drink, so I can't really attest to the drink menu - it looked impressive. Would I go back - yes. I was just in town for my graduation - so back home I go.
