I completely disagree about the food taking a turn for the worse since their new chef was hired. I live around the corner and have eaten there twice in the last month and thought it was just as good as ever. Last week, my husband and I went there and shared the softshell crab over some type of corn succotash and for our main courses, we had the farro risotto and the scallops, which were AMAZING. They also have a new pasta section on the menu and the hostess told us that the new chef spent 3 months in Bologna learning how to handmake pasta. We decided to skip the pasta that night, but soon regretted our decision when we saw it brought out to the table next to us. For dessert, we had the blueberry corncake, which was delicious(both savory and sweet!) \r

Since I live so close, I try to make it in a couple times a month. That said, I've found that the menu has only gotten better since their last chef left. The new menu is both sophisticated and innovative, and the staff's enthusiasm about it is apparent.
Pros: Food, Service, Romantic
Cons: A tad noisy
