    Extremely pleased overall with the Xmas Eve dinner experience (ordered from the set menu) because of the great service by Gregory, waiter, and the outdoor Sommelier, name forgotten, as well as the quality, presentation, and variety of dishes (Caviar blini, rib eye, and desserts were great). Service by other staff was omnipresent without being intrusive. Wine list is immense but bottles weren't the thing for my group and thus we were happy to have the sommelier provide guidance about drinks by the glass. Sat outdoor which was not too pleasant even if heat lamps abounded and blankets were offered. The gain in space was offset by the cooler temperature and the (too) casual look of many customers outdoors (not the same for the crowd indoors). Anyways, this was a nice way to pass an Xmas eve and definitely would consider this restaurant when next searching for a fine dining experience.
