"I 'd give this restaurant 4 ½ stars if I could, but we love it. Quibbles: The very large The Choice sign on one wall pretending it 's part of the decor doesn 't work. While friendly, smiling, efficient and attentive, our server seemed in high gear all the time and so never really present; if she 'd had a slightly smaller work load, she could have given us that personal touch that defines the best service. We ordered 5 items; 3 were outstanding, one was quite good, and one, fish wrapped in potato, was just ok; we wouldn 't order that again. Still we really love this restaurant. The atmosphere and I guess the acoustics create a soothing experience; if you like a lively restaurant, this isn 't the place for you; but we love quiet, and apparently so does everyone else who dines here. With the noted exception, the food was inspired. Both of our appetizers delighted us the shrimp ceviche (the shrimp wasn 't really raw) and the burrata salad. Especially the later: truly memorable. But the winner of the evening was the apple tart for desert. It was, as they say, to die for. Mostly a custard, not too sweet, with a delicate and ineffable flavor; the whole dish was perfect. So... This place is a splurge for us, and it 's not perfect, but we expect to return."
