The atmosphere is warm and cozy yet sophisticated. Olives served at the bar are wonderful. The chef is truly confident as salt service is not included in the table setting. Thought I was entering food heaven until I stepped from the restroom to find a puddle of water seeping from the glass sink in the women's room towards my table. I sailed across the wet, slick concrete floor landing on my elbow; however, the busboy came to my assistance. When the entree arrived, the beautifully grilled orata was not salted and sat upon mounds of thyme. The broccoli rape was tasteless and bitter. I was truly looking forward to a pleasant dining experience at Peasant but now realize why Tyler Florence was in the house that evening. Peasant was in need of a food and service 911.
