This restaurant is fantastic!!! The menu is always changing, but I never fail to find something wonderful to eat. The entrees are amazing! I've had a halibut to die for, and the wood burned chicken is a great dish for those who aren't feeling too daring. My mother had veal medallions that left her saying ""If it wasn't completely rude, I'd pick up this plate and lick it clean"". When I first ate here, I was ready to dismiss it as ""hoity toity uppity eating"", but I was SO wrong. There's no strict dress code (I've come in nice jeans and a blouse), the decor is really fun & eclectic. The owner must have a thing for the animated Speed Racer, even having a martini named after it. I have visited this restaurant 4 times over the past 3 years and only once have been disappointed in the service. (I wish I remembered what her name was, but I know she still works there. She spent all her time on tables with more people, and ignored what she must of thought of as the smaller tippers.) If you want the best service, ask to be seated where HUGH is serving. He's a darling. It IS a bit pricey - plan on spending $25-30 per person for the meal and a drink, but it's SO worth it. Don't fill up on an appetizer - by the time you finish your entree, you'll JUST have room for dessert and it'd be a crime if you didn't. Happy Eating!
Pros: Great food, even better atmosphere, good service. I've had my best meals on weekdays.
Cons: Parking can be tricky, and the entrance easy to miss. Best bet is to come before 8:00pm. They're insanely busy on Saturdays.
