i don't get out to anything this fine quality that often. i love to eat out and consider myself a bit of a food snob. that being said, i can only afford to eat out at a place like this only every once in awhile, and i never felt a hint of snobbery one might expect from such a fine dining locale. our main waiter, Kevin, was fantastic, although I'm sure we threw him off, us not being your run of the mill average customers. I was with Jeremy, and he asked for a second bottle of a british pale ale. it took a long time for kevin to get back, apologizing for the delay and had the news that they were out of that particular ale. So, Kevin first suggests a replacement that would be similiar, and then brings it out, saying, "first take a taste, the i will be back to tell you the story of that beer" it turned out to be actually one of MY favorite beers, 'La Fin Du Monde', and he didn't charge us for it. Such a fantastic place, and when i feel the need, i will definetly be back. Thank You Kevin for the laughs! The best part about the whole occasion was that it was only the two of us, and we had literally a corner to ourselves. (although something was a little wonky w/ their heating that evening)

Pros: good parking, personable staff, and DEFINETLY the setting/amibience

Cons: the heating was off, pricey (duh), this type of attentive service is not for everyone
