"This review takes into consideration the entire experience. Some good. Some, well, not so good. Made the reservation through Open Table well in advance for a Thursday at 5 pm. Requested a table or booth for 2 in the bar area. Also used the feature that allows you to declare at special occasion being celebrated. For DW and I, it was our 43rd wedding anniversary. Greeted at the door and seated at a nice compact 2 top table in the bar by the fireplace right next to a four top that was set for 2. Our server, Eve, welcomed us and pointed to the specials board and then told us that they were out of the Poulet, Meatloaf and Croquets menu items. There went our hoped-for entree, The Poulet. Drinks were ordered and proved to be okay. Eve was acting bartender and did okay. Apps and mains were ordered. DW had the Baklava, and I had the Mussels. Both were excellent and are recommended. A big disappointment was that the mains came out while we were still enjoying our apps. They had to be placed on a near-by table until we rushed through our remaining bites. DW had the Short Ribs which turned out great. I had ordered the Cowboy Filet, and it didn 't come close to my medium rare request. Another problem was that Eve never returned to ask how our dinners were. If Eve had, I would have pointed out the overcooked meat and requested a new preparation. But unfortunately, that never happened. I left the filet, cut in half, on display on my plate. When Eve did return, I refused the box and showed the condition of the filet. After some discussion and Eve making a trip to the kitchen, the Filet Diner was removed from our check. A just settlement to the situation. DW and I then shared the cheesecake and enjoyed the coffee. For a top-end highly rated restaurant our experience was a half and half result. Half very good and half, not so good. Finally, a recommendation would also have to be a so-so recommendation. Lastly, our anniversary was never mentioned."
