Our server (Elizabeth), was excellent, knowing the menu and the features of the entrees. We were given ample time to socialize over cocktails before ordering our meals. As we talked, we enjoyed the fresh Italian Bread with Olive Oil+ more. My entree had so many flavors (halibut special with risotto). I typically don't eat the whole meal (usually a take-home-portion) but in this case I couldn't stop.

We were seated on time, and water brought to the table. After a short wait, the server came and took our drinks. The cocktail was good and the beer was delicious. We ordered appetizers -- baked brie and hot/spicy cauliflower. The cauliflower was fantastic with a really good burn. A combo of Franks and Tabasco. The brie was sad, kinda disappointing. I'd avoid that in the future. I have the tuna and she had the steak salad. The portions were huge and very tasty. Overall, food was good but quite expensive -- $125 for two. Tables are small and the noise was moderate. Service level was fair as we waited too long between drinks, appetizers and the entrees. The server was exceptionally polite. One of the better restaurants in Assembly Row.
