I came here with my sister for my 27th birthday (yikes I'm getting up there in years!).  The host was FABULOUS.  The waiter was INSANELY knowledgeable and funny.  The food was great, I got the steak daily special.  Everything was so fresh, and the cocktails were to die for and I almost did I could have had 10 of them.  Since it was my birthday the waiter picked out his two favorite desserts and brought them out for my sister and I to chose from.  Birthday girl picks first!  I had the apple dessert.  So much apple in so so so many different ways.  If it wasn't so expensive, I would probably eat here everyday.  The open kitchen and views from the giant windows are just a bonus to the deliciously interesting and complex flavors and foods they offer.
