Best Restaurant I've ever been to!!!
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

04/29/2008 Posted by mimirose

Spectacular in every way!! Food was the best I've had, service was impeccable, and setting was romantic. Our waiter was fabulous, friendly, and knowledgeable. He recommended a terrific wine for us based on our price range, and he also was great at reccomending dishes and educating us on foods we werent familiar with. Our glasses were never empty- servers were always there to refill them. I had a personal escort to the ladies room, and when I came back to my table my napkin was perfectly refolded on to my setting. We ordered Beef Carpaccio; Bacon & Apple; and French Mache Salad w/ Truffle Vinagrette for starters...fantastic! We were also given a complimentary Split Pea Panna Cotta..delish! Quail & 50 year Balslamic, and Braised Halibut for Main dishes...Quail was excellent, melted in my mouth! However, I've had better Halibut. After Main dishes, we were then given complimentary Lemon Spritzers..yummy & refreshing! For dessert we had their Doughnuts with Malted Milk Ice cream...to die for!!! And Lemon Beignets...yum again! And when we were leaving we were given more complimentary Crumb cakes to-go. Oh and to top it all off, the waiter remembered that we mentioned it was our wedding anniversary, and when dessert came "Happy Anniversary" was written on our plates. Lots of exclamation points for CRAFT! Loved absolutley everything.

Pros: Excellent food, Excellent service, great attention to detail

Cons: None
