The Scene
The stately, dimly lit front bar boasts red walls, dignified paintings, comfy couches and floor-to-ceiling bookshelves. Cement floors and a high A-frame ceiling don't detract from the cozy romance offered by a central patio fireplace. One wall flickers with inset candles; iron sconces line the other. Servers are prompt, informed and exceptionally attentive.
The Food
Items on the small, varied menu are skillfully prepared. Addictive appetizers include the miniature salty Cicchetti green olives, deep-fried and served with a unctuous garlic aioli, and the three-cheese platter, which is highlighted by Humboldt Fog goat cheese paired with toasted baguettes and grapes. For entrees, the all-day baked pork rests atop hearty polenta, and moist, roasted king salmon is accompanied by sharp whole-grain mustard emulsion and al dente peas.

THE GUY AT THE DOOR IS EXTREMELY RUDE..THINKS HES HOT SH**. HE ONLY LETS PEOPLE IN WHO GIVE HIM A CASH INCENTIVE. EVEN THOUGH ME AND MY FRIENDS HAD DINNER RESERVATIONS WE HAD TO WAIT 45 MINUTES BEFORE WE COULD GO IN. ONCE WE GOT IN WE HAD TO WAIT ANOTHER 10-15 MINS TO BE SEATED, THE ONLY GOOD SERVICE WE GOT WERE FROM THE BUS BOYS..EVERYTHING ELSE SUCKED!!!!!!!

Considering it was a slow night, it was hard to understand why the server did not ask for our entree order till 50 min into our appitizer. Then the got my ribeye order wrong with a fillet. When they came back to me they even said someone was eating my ribeye at the other table and they could not take it back. That was a funny one ;) I am an easy going guy so I took it for a grain of salt. They did however get me a dessert but did not communicate that till the end as we thought they misordered that one too ;) Oh well. Nice ambience. Nice people. It must have been an off day.

Know Before You Go:
Modest ones beware: The bathroom is unisex.
Look Good:
If you get lost, look for the ivy-covered building on the south side of the street with the valet out front. There is no sign.
Where to Sit:
Because the dining room is outside, smoking is allowed. Request a table closer to the front if this is a problem--the heavier concentration of it takes place at the back bar, but the high ceilings allow smoke to dissipate quickly.
