    Nice atmosphere, food was good (portions were a little on the small side), wine list extensive but ridiculously priced, and that is coming from people who love really good wine.

    We reserved a table upstairs, but was put downstairs (requires an cc to make reservation.). I ordered a fish dish that arrived with meat on it. When I brought it up- the manager aggressively mentioned that it was on the menu (in a different language) despite my ordering this dish regularly (for the past 5 years) w/o meat. We ordered the cheese plate and it was delivered without any information regarding what cheese was which. We ordered dessert and it sat for 25 minutes on the table without our having been provided any utensils. When we paid the check they sent macaroons- but no information on what type of macaroons.
