Definately one of the better restaurants I've been to in Dallas. They do a good job with service, have a nice wine list and the food is impeccable. We started with lobster shooters the last time, good stuff.
It's expensive, but worth it.

When I was last here, we had the Salt-Crusted Calamari with Tamarind Barbeque Sauce and Micro Cilantro – Daikon Radish Salad, but I don't see it on their menu anymore. It was good, and a different take on calamari, I think the sauce really set it apart from what you usually see. Would love to see it brought back. For the main course I had the Wood Roasted Buffalo Tenderloin on Red Wine Butter with Truffle Whipped Potatoes and Baby Vegetables. I was initially skeptical that this was going to turn out gamey, but to my surprise it was delicious! It's a little bit on the pricier side at almost $50, but it's worth it. Decent wine list, there's something for everyone that likes wine. I look forward to going back again sometime!

Food and service is amazing. Can not wait to get some people together and eat at the chefs table. How cool is that? Will eat here again.

The valet takes your car about 10 feet or so to park. Very convenient when it's hot, I suppose.
Seated appropriately considering the size of the room.
Appetizer tastings vary - tuna tartar is a pleasant, if comfortable surprise. The much lauded lobster shooters involve two balls covered in hot sticky curry. Mixed feelings on this one.
Lamb again. Comes across as moderately fatty, nicely accompanied.
Service attentive and unobtrusive.
Other patrons moderately offensive, but no more than to be expected for the neighborhood.
Definitely worth a visit.
