A very popular spot, we lucked out showing up at 6pm (right when they opened). It's got a bit of a following thanks to Chuck Hughes who was the first Canadian to beat Bobby Flay on Iron Chef, and also has his own Food Network Show. Chuck was in the house the night I was there (yes, he actually WORKS in his two restaurants), although I didn't see him. But then again I didn't go into the kitchen. \n\nThe food was good. Really good. But not OMG-the-best-i've-ever-had. Which is too bad because it's been consistently getting 5 stars. Their homemade cocktails however, are probably worth the trip alone. Try the bourbon berry. YUM. (The pear rosemary cocktail tasted like soap however.)\n\nThe menu had changed so most of the previously mentioned dishes weren't available. We did try the kimchee with snow crab (yum!), and followed it by the seared tuna flat focicca (very nice), the cornbread with grilled shrimp (only ok), and the halibut with crispy pork (decent, but not rave worthy). We had the chocolate ganache pie for dessert. It was good, but not spectacular.\n\nThe service was really excellent though, so although the food was maybe only a 3.5 stars, I'll give that extra bit for the excellent excellent servers.\n\nIt is pricey though. We paid $220 for 4 cocktails, 6 oysters, and the  4 \"sharing/tapas style\" listed above, and one dessert.
