We went to the restaurant on a Friday night for the first time. It was crowded, a bit on the noisy side (but it was a Fri night), but it wasn't too difficult to hear the conversation at our table of 4 people. Our table was somewhat up a couple of stairs and in a corner, so we were away from the main bar crowd. The atmosphere was very high energy and hip. The appetizers of either duck, soup or pear salad were wonderful. For the entrees, we had either the fish, duck or pork. The pork was OK, not great (a bit dried out), but the fish and duck were terrific. Desserts were OK, not great. The wine list is extensive and except for a few Italian reds in the $40 range, the prices were very high especially for the OR pinot noirs. The service was outstanding (we were not rushed) and the waiter brought the correct glasses for the two reds we purchased. Hooray for a restaurant that actually knows the correct wine glasses to use! Overall, we enjoyed ourselves and the food was terrific and I highly recommend the restaurant.
Pros: good value, great food, good service, parking on the street or valet
Cons: somewhat noisy on a Fri night, mediocure desserts
