Great food, music, and service!
Elegantly prepared dishes with freshest-of-fresh ingredients. Staff was accommodating and generous with pours.
Service was really lacking. Had a few notable dishes, including the scallop crudo, beef tartare, ham hock beignets, and confit duck. Waiter may have been new, and they may have been understaffed at the time, but things took far too long between all courses. It was also the first time I had ever run out of water in my glass at any restaurant like this. You expect much better service from a place like this, though I would still recommend to friends — albeit with a caveat.
