I visit about once a month and am here today.

In my opinion, the food and service has never been better. It's early afternoon and not very busy. I've had the hamachi crudo, the buffalo mozzarella with figs, and the chicken with polenta. All restaurant quality and served quickly with a smile.

Bartender is friendly and started us with espresso martinis, then moved on to a smoky margarita. I cut myself off from cocktails after 2 and am now working my way through a nice wine selection. Plan to finish our visit with a cheeseburger and a glass or 2 of the Mollydooker.

Admittedly, if it's crowded, the experience isn't the same.
