The week's wait for a table was well worth it. The presentation was seamless and steady; we were fawned on by two waitresses who seemed genuinely interested in ensuring the experience was engaging and enjoyable. Each dish on the tasting menu was delicious, including the rich and buttery foie gras, which we were unable to finish due to the surfacing of conscience mid-course (google 'Foie gras: Delicacy of Despair' for more details). Seconds after we permitted our half-eaten fattened goose livers to be whisked away, our waitress materialized, bearing two cold drinks and the chef's profound apologies for the dish - a completely unneccessary but vastly appreciated gesture. The dessert, a mint chocolate mousse, would have been the perfect countermeasure for the summer heat, but we were allowed to linger so long over our courtesy cocktails that by the time we sailed out the door with stomachs pleasingly full, the temperature had fallen drastically and our dinner was a distant but lovely memory.
Pros: atmosphere
