    This was an EXCELLENT meal. Erin and Marissa were remarkably attentive servers, providing superb guidance on the menu (especially for one of our companions who had a number of food allergies). The "snacks" (rye tartlets and madeleines) were wonderful ways to begin the meal. The three "middle" courses were fantastic. The salmon (modified deliciously by the chef to accommodate our high-allergy buddy) and duck courses were exceptional!! The desserts were wonderful, too (the date cake...OMG!). The restaurant should get EXTRA kudos for reaching out in advance to get additional clarity about our friend's allergies (I had posted the allergies when I made the reservation). So thoughtful and careful about this health issue. Erin carefully reviewed each menu item with our friend and indicated which was OK, which could be modified, and which would be off-limits. WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE ALL=AROUND!!!
