Before you take my review to heart, please know that I am in the fine dining industry and I understand both the guest perception and service staff perception.\nOverall, our dining experience was wonderful....... Food, service, price!\nNow on to the actual review:\n5:30pm reservation time, showed up early for a little HH cocktail and was promptly seated for dinner soon thereafter. Our server, although very soft spoken and a little difficult to hear, was attentive and nice! He gave us the perfect amount of time to order, and the food started to flow out of the kitchen.\nCompliments from the chef: duck fat fries: hello?!? Heaven in my mouth!\n1st course: Kobe beef tartare- beautiful presentation! Tartare came out on a plate with the quail egg set atop with all the mix ins surrounding. Our food runner gracefully mixed the tartare and placed it in a chilled glass. Grilled pita bread to go with. We both decided that the pita bread and the tartare were great........ Separately! The pita bread masked the steak when eated together.\n2nd course (his): wedge salad: wow! Crispe cups of iceberg lettuce, bacon, blue cheese dressing (which was not too \"blue cheesy\"), and pickled shallots.\n2nd (mine): hearts of romaine, which I automatically pegged for their version of a caesar salad. It was and it wasn't. The menu states \"olive\" dressing....... After my first bite, I remembered that olives are not my most favorite....... My fault!\nMain entree (his): rack of lamb. Perfect mid-rare with the most incredible rosemary sauce drizzled over the top.\nMine: grilled scallops: cooked nicely...... Nothing over the top. My very last bite did have a grain of sand which sends chills down my spine, but it was just the one. I appreciate the work, talents, and dedication of the prep all the cooks/ chefs to back there do before service starts. One graine of sand won't kill me.\nSides: Brussels sprouts with bacon-de-lish! Potato pur\u00e9e: sour cream- average, lobster- incredible, horseradish- in between.\nDessert (his): beignets with 18 yr scotch butterscotch pudding- the pudding was amazing. You got all the favors of both the scotch and the butterscotch. Perfect pair!\nMine: mascarpone cheesecake: the best cheesecake I've ever had! Huckleberry compote, shortbread crumble, and candied kumquat peel...... Amazing!\nall savory food came out very quickly, almost too quickly. By the time dessert came around, service drastically slowed down. As I stated at the beginning of this review, I'm in the industry, so I see both sides of it.\nAt the end of the day, would I go back? Absolutely!!!\nOther reviews state that the price is to high, blah, blah,...... But you need to remember, you're not just paying for that steak on a plate..... You're paying for the technique of food preparation, service and everything in between. So, if you're worried about how much money you're going to spend, don't go out to a restaurant like this because you'll leave pissed off when in all actuality everything was great until the bill was dropped. \nI left happy! :)
