1789 did change chef. ric lacoste is gone. not the world's greatest loss.

Caucus room claims that on certain nights, you call, and you bring the wine, they will cook to it. I have eaten there a couple times on weekend and enjoyed it very much as the place was close to empty.

I have never cared for Goldini, think taberna is over rated, and think Galeleio is the most over rated restaurant on the eastern seaboard. the only decent meal I have ever had in a Dona establishment was cooked by Jeff Bubin(of Viadalia then)

Have not eaten at Maestro or 2941(?). both are a bear to get to for 6:30-7pm.

I have enjoyed both 701 and oval room(lot of chef changes). Particularly, again when not busy. same person owns bombay club, which I have never made.

As is well known, my favorite is gone.................Signatures, and chef Moru.

for probably the best food and dining occurance, check "the list are you on it" for tasting dinners. most of these are all out affairs.
