Good food, fair price, excellent service
My fiance and I came here for dinner on a weeknight, and we ordered beef tartare and roast chicken.
The beef tartare was served with buttered and grilled crostini, and the flavors and textures complimented each other very well. We ran out of crostini halfway through, and our waiter replaced it promptly after we notified him.
The roast chicken was served with cabbage and carrots, and a rich full-bodied sauce (the body coming from the chicken stock, and not starch or cream). There was so much food we could only finish 1/4 of the chicken each. The rest was good enough for 2 extra meals! For the price of $30, it is well worth it. (However, I will go on to say that although this chicken was delicious, it does not compare to the roast chicken at Zuni Cafe in SF.)
In regards to the service, we asked for hot water, so we were given tea pots, cups, and saucers. The waiter constantly came back to check up on the temperature of our water, and even replaced our tea pots and cups while they still had water in them to keep them hot.

Roast chicken for two
Excellent value. $30 might seem expensive, but for two people it’s not bad. To make it even better, there’s enough food to be split into 4 meals (for the average appetite)!
