Great service, overpriced food. 7/3/2005

I went here for restaurant week and even though there was a $35 prix-fixe menu, the bill came to $120 for 2 with tax and tip. The service is superior here. The decor and ambiance was very special, as was the carefully chosen music, wine list and Aquavit-based cocktails, however, I wasn't terribly impressed by the food, which is supposed to be the main attraction when going to an expensive restaurant. I ordered the tomato soup with goat cheese (the soup was way too sweet but the generous portion of decadent goat cheese in the center almost made up for it) and the swedish meatballs (the meatballs were savory and delicious, but textbook. The mashed potatoes, though smooth and creamy, were an exercise in overseasoning, and were so salty and buttery they bordered on inedible.) The desserts were the highlight, and were surprisingly sublime. Pros: service, decor, dessert Cons: dissapointing food, too serious, overpriced more
