Okay but not great.... 2/14/2005

We were seated at a table upstairs, which overlooked the first floor dining room. This is fine if you like to people watch, although having a bird's eye view of watching people eat isn't particularly appealing, nor very intimate. We started with a $16 crab cake appetizer--quite small and average tasting. For our entrees, the lamb was excellent--very flavorful and tender. The rib-eye sounded promising with the onion herb relish but it was less than tender and the relish didn't seem to do much to enhance the flavor. Side dishes were an additional $7--the au gratins were good but the asparagus tasted bland. In general, the service was good (the busboys were particularly attentive) but the food (with the exception of the lamb) was average, especially for the prices. Although the restaurant is beautiful, I wouldn't recommend it for a romantic dinner--it seems better suited for larger groups. Pros: Best for groups of 4+ Cons: Price for the quality, Not intimate more
