The atmosphere here is so uptight! I ordered the (delicious) grilled trout and my husband had the duck. He asked the waitress for a sharp knife before tucking into his dinner. Moments later the chef came out and slammed a steak knife down on the table, huffily saying that if it was necessary then he should buy us dinner. The knife really wasn't necesary, but the chef's hissy fit was absurd. Our waitress forgot the ""amuse bouche"" until after the appetizer and brought bread after the entree arrived. When my b'day dessert came out, the waitress furtively brought out a cobbler w/ a candle in it, whispered happy b'day and scuttled away...wierd and pretty hilarious. We just bought a house in Cobble Hill and might have returned, but it's just too tense and crowded and there are lots of other excellent restaurants on Smith Street sans the freaky atmosphere!
Pros: Food
Cons: Crowded, Tense, Cliquey
