The food was very good, and presented very well, but it lacked that pop of true excellence. The beef tartare was nothing special. The fish was great. The pork definitely needed the knife it came with. The dessert was very good.

The ambiance was very nice.

The service is what really shined. My wife and I went there for our anniversary, and the wait staff went out of their way to take care of us. We were never neglected, but also given plenty of space to enjoy our evening. They were *very* professional and courteous, always referring to us as "Mr. Peterson" or "Mrs. Peterson", and following the little "rules" for good wait staff. They brought us special drinks on the house for our anniversary, too.

I had brought some secret items that I wanted the server to bring to the table with dessert - a card and a York peppermint patty (it's a thing between my wife and me). I discreetly gave them to the maitre d', but alas - my peppermint patty had melted in my bag! He saw my dismay and instantly said "Nevermind sir - we'll get you another." I said dubiously "... a York peppermint patty??" He replied "We'll find one." And they did. I know they must have sent someone to the store to buy me a replacement York peppermint patty, and that's all there was to it. A simple thing - but these are the kinds of things that set great service apart.
