Group of four went for dinner. We were attracted by the restaurant's "no corkage fee" policy, as we like to bring our own wine rather than pay 300% markups. When we booked, no early seatings were available so we got a table for 8:45. Suited us fine. Staff was friendly and welcoming on arrival.

When we booked, no early seatings were available so we got a table for 8:45. Suited us fine. Staff was friendly and welcoming on arrival. The maitre d' who took our order was extremely knowlegeable -- his descriptions of the food made each dish sound scrumptious.
And indeed, the vast majority of our food was wonderful. The only small minus was that the foie gras, which should be done until it is cooked, but still soft, was a bit overdone -- crispy foie gras!
Everything else was wonderful. The chef inclines to strong flavors, so the mushroom soup had a lovely, outspoken mushroom flavor. The beef carpaccio tasted of fresh beef (not the inside of a fridge), and the clam soup was nice and garlicky.
We drank all our wine and had a great time. Will definitely go back.
