I had dinner there this past Sunday (4/20/2008) with my boyfriend and another couple, all four of us in from out-of-town. The staff were wonderfully accommodating of our schedule, fitting us into their busy night. We were seated right away (in quite a neat little booth), and our waiter was a wonderful resource, guiding us through the menu and recommending a very nice local wine. The food was outstanding! Everything was cooked perfectly (clams and halibut fritters to start; and gnocchi, duck, pork chops, and halibut as mains), including the things that are often taken for granted (like greens). Dessert was a masterpiece -- It's hard to choose which won between the caramel pine nut tart with rosemary ice cream or the chocolate panna cotta because they're just so different. And it was VERY reasonable for the experience. Highly recommended!
Pros: Excellent staff, food, wine selection
Cons: It's not in Chicago (where I live)
