We were impressed with the meal, the service and pretty much the entire experience.  It was my birthday dinner so we were looking for something special and I think that we got it.\n\nFirst of all, I have to say the the service was impeccable!  Our server Jay knew the menu inside out and was patient in answering our questions about the \"not so everyday\" menu.  We ordered a beautiful bottle of wine with the help of the sommelier.  We tried the lamb tongue and it was so good, I can say that now I am a fan.  I had the lamb chops which were so good, and a very hefty portion.  I like to eat and was sad that I couldn't finish it all.  My boyfriend had the the oxtail gnocchi, which I have to say I wish I had ordered because they were amazing!!\n\nWow.  That was a memorable birthday dinner even though I was hoping to see Mario Batali!!
