Review content:
We went on a Saturday night at 7 pm. Easy parking and seated promptly. The room is outstanding -- its nicely ""broken up"" by curtains throughout that give the feel of many smaller rooms and keep the noise down. The overall look is quite elegant. \r
\r
Prices are (in my humble opinion) remarkably high; they aren't simply Boston high, they are top-of-the-line Boston high. Cocktails are $10-15, and it's hard to find wine for less than $60 a bottle. \r
\r
We thoroughly enjoyed all of the food, oysters and tuna appetizers were both very well prepared, although only 3 of each. The waiter didn't warn us that sharing among our 4 diners wouldn't be easy. I thought the prime rib was excellent - a large portion and very tasty; my wife said that it reminded her why she prefers a filet. Deserts were modest in size, but tasty enough.\r
\r
My only complaint, and it's not a modest one, was our waiter -- he was constantly appearing and hovering. I was left with the impression that he was trying to ""turn over "" our table to make way for the second shift. Things appeared and disappeared with such speed, that I didn't feel merely ""rushed""; I felt ""pushed"". Some people may prefer having their plates removed the moment they finish what's on them, or having their appetizers, their drinks, and their wine all on the table at the same time, or getting their check all at the same time as the coffee and deserts are served, but to my way of thinking, that's what I like in a diner or IHOP, not in a fancy restaurant. The waiter hovered so that when one of our party pulled out a credit card for the check, it was scooped up before the other couple had a chance to add their card to the pile. We literally had to call him back to the table.\r
\r
This may be an isolated case, and I also know that there are lots of you out there who'd rather have an overly attentive waiter than a non-existant one. At $175 per couple, it shouldn't be either/or.
Pros: food ambience parking suburban convenience
Cons: rushed service very high prices
