We went to Apiary on a Saturday night. The bartender made the worst cocktail I've ever tasted. He couldn't even measure the pour correctly, so it only filled up half my martini glass. Gross. We ordered a $50 bottle of wine, which I guess isn't enough. The sommelier didn't look at us while he poured, completely ignored our thanks, and walked away without a word to chat up every table except ours. The couple times he came back to re-pour, it was the same treatment. Wouldn't even give us the time of day. The food was delicious, which made the experience such a shame! But if you want to go and drop $200 on wine, it looks like you'll be treated much, much better.

We had dinner there on Sunday night before a major holiday and it was not terribly busy. Maybe that´s why we didn´t feel rushed like the other reviewer mentioned. The organic roasted chicken (with crispy skin and moist breast meat) was cooked to perfection. The rabbit dish also excellent according to my mother. My dad had the pork chop, which was brined and also moist and cooked just right. $25 dollar entrees that were filling (although the duck and steak dishes looked smaller in size). An excellent restaurant.

Solid food, but the diner-like service was off-putting

We were seated and the server asked for our order before we'd opened the menus. The beet salad was good with sesame oil and crushed walnuts. However the server brought out our entrees while we were still enjoying it. The steak was solid but unimpressive - the skate was excellent – fresh, flaky and well prepared. We were still visibly eating our meal when asked if we were finished. By the time we did finish, the server had come by twice to ask if we wanted to see a desert menu. We opted for just coffee and while I was stirring in steamed milk, the check was unceremoniously and wordlessly dropped between us. Why the bum's rush? By the time the check was dropped, we had been in our seats a grand total of 65 minutes and while the server's execution and delivery was fine, his haste to have us gone soured my enjoyment of the repast. And frankly, the food, while good, wasn't good enough to get me past his passive-aggressive distain. Decent work in the kitchen keeps my review barely in the good column. But next time I'll cross the street to the Smith.

This exceeded expectations! The food was very fresh and delicious. We had the Moroccan spiced chicken, halibut crudo, mussels, caramelized peaches and NY Strip. Everything was delicious. The service was great. Above all, the value is amazing, especially in today's economy.

Halibut Crudo & Prosciutto/Peaches apps were solid, I wish there had been more than three bites of halibut though! The Moroccan Chicken that FB seemed to enjoy was over-spiced though the accompanying couscous was as airy & delicious as he reported. The rabbit was executed well, tasy though unspectacular, and the spaetzle was a nice touch. Service & decor were very nice, high volume, great wine list.
