First off, a complaint but it gets better.... Me and my husband made reservations on a Saturday evening for 7:15pm. At 7:45 we were still waiting ( along with another couple in the same boat) The bar was full so we awkwardly stood around until finally a manager offered to buy us a cocktail and apologized. Okay, good move ( should have been done 15 minutes earlier) and we enjoyed our cocktails until 45 minutes later we were seated. Hungry as bears, we devoured the yummy herby bacon bread-soft and warm perfect to soak up that cocktail that was going right to my head, We ordered three dishes and one side and shared it all. It was paced beautifully and we felt very cared for by our excellent waiter The ahi tuna tartare appetizer was beautifully presented and delicious. Fresh, clean mild but flavorful. Plenty for two. The next dish was the warm lobster salad-they split it nicely so we each had our own, which is a good thing for my husband because I eat faster than him! This was the stand out plate for me-perfectly cooked lobster, corm, endive and well, I'm not sure what else but each bite was a ticket to heaven. Next came the entree-again split. The boneless short ribs with horseradish gnocchi. The meat was tender but not fall apart-you could cut it with a fork but it retained its shape. Flavored with a slightly sweet sauce-each bit accompanied with a delicate horseradish gnocchi-perfect. We also got the cheesy potatoes with an egg over the top. There were so many potatoes we boxed them and had them for breakfast the following morning. They were a great compliment to the short ribs. It was a cold rainy night and the food was comfort food all the way. We finished with the key lime pie. A small dome of citrusy lightness with a dollop of vanilla ice cream-a perfect finish. We sat very comfortably in a booth right near the kitchen but we weren't bothered at all. The noise level was actually low for such a busy night. The decor is wonderfully appointed-unique-almost post modern baroque. The bathrooms are amazing. All in all-we like it a lot. We will probably stay clear of the place on a Saturday night ( if you want to be seated on time).
