Not sure what they are using on the grill but food was dripping in grease from the hash to the hamburger. Crowded, noisy and not a pleasant spot for a Saturday brunch-not sure why the crowd.

I thought the hostess seemed a bit pretentious about seating us when the restaurant was only 20% full upon arrival, but it did fill up. Food was great and our server was very attentive. I had the fig and arugula salad to start, and for some reason it was really salty. I asked the server and he immediately replaced it. For the main I had the short ribs. Very good, not fatty, and the foie gras was cooked to perfection. For dessert, had the berries and marscapone cream, which were the perfect ending. I would go back.

Throughly enjoyed cocktails and dessert, even though the bartender was a bit abrasive

I ordered the linguine with cockles. It turned out to be angel hair pasta, which I would not have ordered. The portion was ridiculusly small. Is pasta such an expensive ingredent? Worst of all, it was disgustingly salty. I really wanted to send it back, except I thought it would ruin it for my dinner companion. My friend had the scallops appitizer. He liked it, but for $13 he was expecting more than two. My red wine was served too warm in a warm wine glass. The one bright spot was the service, which was friendly. Be prepared to spend a lot and walk away hungry.
