This was a delightful little restaurant. It reminds me of leisurely dining in France where the menus are always seasonal. The freshness of the ingredients came out in the flavors. Vegtables actually tasted like the vegtables they are instead of bland preservative mush. The chef does have some ""crutch"" flavors that show up in all the dishes so it's not the kind of place you will want to eat everyday. My friend felt the flavors were over-layered, perhaps due to the french/morrocan/eastern european influences. The portions are correctly sized for multi-course dining so you should expect indulge in more than one course. They don't rush your meal, but let you linger for wine and conversation. If you're a beer belly-type guy who normally inhales their dinner in 5 minutes at TGIFridays, this isn't your place. And it's not appropriate for families, (but then, maybe folks with kids would be happier in the suburbs or Brooklyn). In all, I found it an enjoyable spot, but only for folks with a european frame of mind towards dining.
Pros: Fresh tastes, chef's menu, atmosphere
Cons: uneven service, overly complex flavors
