First time back in a long time, found the best feature to be the bar. Fun, comfortable, good drinks. I had the signature fig-infused, barrel-aged Manhattan -- pretentious but a nice smooth drink. Dinner was fine, though service was erratic -- one of those waitstaff who is so chatty and eager to please that they spend way too much time talking to you and other diners instead of getting on with it. One of our party got the wrong dish and ended up eating dinner after the rest of us were practically finished.
The bread, outsourced to Bakery Lyon, was outstanding. Serving portions for the food were stingy -- the sampler of mezzes was evidently intended for one person, not be split at the table as we did. Thimble-sized servings. I had the pulled goat, which tasted good but was again on the meager side. Cheese plate typically had slices the size of a nickel.
Would not rush back for dinner but would sit at the bar.
