My boyfriend took me here on Wednesday for our one-year anniversary. I had assumed since this restaurant is so nice that the staff would be pretentious, but I cannot explain how nice the bartender and our waiter were. The waiter even stayed with us for a few minutes to give us tips on tasting and finding good bottles of wine. We also explained to the waiter that we had theater tickets, so the restaurant made sure we were finished in time but that we did not feel rushed at all. We ordered the tasting menu and opted to get the wine pairings. All of the dishes were amazing and, even though they were small, we left feeling full and satisfied. My favorite dish was the monkfish and fettucine, which sounded like an odd pairing at first, but was beautifully done. I ordered the chocolate trio dessert, and felt that violating my diet for the night was definitely worth it. Two of the dishes were molten chocolate cake and a white chocolate ice cream dish. I get molten chocolate cake all the time, but this was definitely the best one I've ever had. The atmosphere was also great - I am very interested in history so I was excited to eat in Aaron Burr's old house. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone celebrating a special occassion (unfortunately, since I'm only in my mid-20's, I can't afford to eat here all the time).
Pros: Service, food, excellent wine selections, atmosphere
