beautiful decor, straight-forward but foodie-worthy menu (except the "signature" truffled dip...total baby-food texture), lots of wines to choose from. enjoyed meeting the chef, really nice guy, seems super enthusiastic about the menu he's put together. the down side is the rest of the staff, way too much attitude for this neighborhood. hovering, obnoxious. generally when i go out in the neighborhood i look for something relaxed and comfortable, but it was hard for my date and i to relax when our waiter (the somelier??) was over our shoulder the whole night.
Pros: decor, wine list
Cons: music way too loud, snooty staff
