food was just so-so, nothing memorable, although the individual ingredients shone. however, the space is amazing, and i'd be willing to try again for the much talked about brunch for that reason alone.

Food was delicious. The service was so-so. The waiter brought a warm bottle of white wine and then tried to fill everyone's galsses with it twice before it was chilled. After I suggested that he not do it, he tried to quickly make up for it by bringing us glasses of house wine by the glass (which was chilled). The waiter was nice and informative on the food menu. Very helpful other than the wine snafu.

Really good food in a great ambiance. The service is efficient and knowledgeable. The food is not very creative but all flavors are well combined. Decent wine list, I would appreciate more by the glass options.

Very good food, though may be not very creative. Excellent and very informed service, sufficiently rare to be mentionned. The decor is original (patio), though the foreign movie shown on a wall in the back is insufficient to create a real atmosphere. The location is not great, but it was worth getting there.
