Yes, it may be difficult to get in at the time you want, and yes, it is always packed and a bit noisy, but...
The food is every bit as good as advertised (probably better), in a very nice, but not snooty atmosphere.
Above all, with this place's reputation, it would have every reason to be the ultimate in 'attitude:' nothing is further from the truth. From the person who takes your reservation, to the valets, to the waitstaff, to the people clearing the table, this restaurant gives no hint of taking itself too seriously, and treats all clients with dignity and true friendliness.
Pros: Great food, Polished service
Cons: Hard to get res., expensive
