Three of us went out for a special dinner and had just that.  Each one of us had a different special (escolar, lamb shank, and veal chop), and all of us were pleased with the food and service, though the potatoes could have been better.  Mike was our waiter, and he took great care of us; we do believe in asking for, and usually following, our server's recommendations.  The bistro is artsy but not fancy; there are TV's over the bar, and the music is a bit loud.  Prices are somewhat high, but we knew that going in.  We were there for a leisurely, well-prepared meal, and we were very satisfied with the total experience.  We had a terrific coupon, but we'll go back without one.
