We had high expectations and maybe that was our fault. I might try it again but my date would probably skip it. Booked through opentable, (I love not troubling the hosting station with an extra call!), I put that it was a birthday celebration in the notes. Host hadn't seen the note (no big deal), so my date reminded him (she loves celebration!). Ordered drinks and a half dozen oysters and the sweetbreads (that's what attracted my date to the menu in the first place). The lavender lemonade is awesome! Sweetbreads were a little overcooked. Part of the joy (imnsho) of sweetbreads is the melt in your mouth texture combimed with the subtle flavors. Overcooked sweetbreads are like plain chicken, ordinary and unsatisfying. My date respectfully let the waiter know, so the kitchen would know. Good feedback, in a way I'm trying to work on (Id usually say nothing at the time, but how do you foster improvement with that?)

We split a dish of the lamb, with a coriander broth carrots and fennel. Most excellent! We were surprised a bit by the broth pourover, but it was an excellent undertone to the dish .

Unfortunately, the server was never told about the birthday, not a fault on her, but the host should have passed that on, especially after a second reminder. We had ice cream up the street instead.

Not a bad dinner, but down a star for the sweet breads and another for the service faux pas.
