My wife made us a reservation here on my birthday.  It was the nicest night so far in the year so we sat outside.  Also, it just seemed more lively outside.  Not in the loud sort of way...it was just more full.  The inside was still \"upscale\" feeling like it was when the place was Oceanaire.  But it was relaxed, I guess what a brasserie is supposed to be.\n\nLike I mentioned, it was packed outside, so service was a little slow.  We didn't mind as we didn't have anywhere else to be.  We started with 2 apps; the heavily touted goat cheese and onion tart and an asian style tuna special.  I don't remember much about the tuna because...well it wasn't memorable.  I do remember the fish itself being really high quality.  The tart however was great.  Flavorful, airy, with just the right amount of crust.  Its one of those plates that you order every time you go.  My wife doesn't enjoy goat cheese, and she even really liked the tart.  The bread brought out was really good too.  We split the beet salad.  Looking back we should have ordered something else..she doesn't like beets, and I'm pretty particular about how I like mine.  So the salad wasn't for us, but might be good to you, appreciated reader.\n\nFor the entree I had the braised lamb.  When we go back I will have a really hard time ordering something else, it was that good.  The shank was textbook braised.  The meat almost had the consistency of good pulled pork, and when taking a bite with the sauce (red wine reduction maybe?) it reminded me of vinegar based bbq for sure.  I'm so happy our waiter talked me into this.  My annoying habit of asking \"whats your favorite thing on the menu\" really paid off this time.  My wife had the roasted chicken.  She enjoyed it but I thought it was a little dry from overcooking.  We were really stuffed so opted out of dessert, but they brought us some banana ice cream for my birthday.  I love banana flavored stuff so it was right up my alley, and the texture of the ice cream was perfect.  Now that I'm done with this review I've got a pretty good feeling that I'll order the lamb again next time I'm there..
