Go!New Executive Chef does not disappoint! After reading reviews & experiencing too many "vibrant" restaurants lately, I'd requested a booth although just my husband & myself-I wasn't hopeful but after a short wait at the bar (just long enough to be served our drinks, we were seated in a cozy booth (not sure how you'd squeeze 4 in however ;)
Started with the Parmesan Puff (rich, creamy & delicious), followed by the cipollini onion kohlrabi soup (unctuous!) & prime rib eye (perfectly medium rare). Hubby had crispy beggar's purse stuffed with beet greens, ricotta & pine nuts (fabulous) and perfectly seared halibut. Shared banana cream pie, tasty but the custard was an unappetizing grey color. Service was leisurely, perfect 4 us, hate 2B rushed4/14/2013 12:00:00 AMAs usual, reliably great food.As usual, reliably great food. The kale salad was fabulous.4/4/2013 12:00:00 AMgreat service, even better foodThe service was exemplary. Our orders were delayed due to some mix up in the kitchen. So the manager personally came to apologize and brought 2 desserts on the house. And since it was one of our birthdays, they even brought an extra ice cream serving with a candle. The food, of course, was delicious. The burseel sprouts, prawn, burger, potato croquettes, kale salad. All excellent.3/31/2013 12:00:00 AMthe burger is still good,the burger is still good, but not the same as it once was. when evan funke left, the glory of the burger left with him3/31/2013 12:00:00 AMFirst time going, but lovedFirst time going, but loved the vegetarian options and I will definitely be back!3/25/2013 12:00:00 AMInventive, but very tasty/greatInventive, but very tasty/great food.

The food was amazing, and the burger met and exceeded the hype it gets from burger coinsures. The noise level was pretty high, I don’t mind it at all but if you are the type that likes a quiet meal keep this in mind. If I could only give you two suggestions they would be as follows. Order the burger, it is amazing. Tip your bus boy, they do all the work, you will see them 3-5 times during your meal whereas you will see your server 1-2. All around great dinner spot that I will suggest to anyone.3/16/2013 12:00:00 AMFresh FaireAll fresh vegetables from local farms...unique preparation.3/12/2013 12:00:00 AMA bustling little space withA bustling little space with terrific food!!!
