Amazing! My wife and I just returned from a 6pm Saturday dinner. The scallop fritters might have been cooked a few seconds too long, but the sauce was intriguing. My wife's mushroom soup special was divine. The wine list was very impressive. For main course, my wife had a very good roasted duck on cabbage, and my spicy blackened swordfish was not only tasty, but huge. And the beans! Seriously, the green bean sides we had were cooked EXACTLY right--like we had never experienced before. Dessert? My wife's upside down apple tart was tender perfect, and my creme brulee was done RIGHT. (I've suffered through a LOT of substandard brulees to finally arrive in paradise!) The staff was very friendly, very knowledgeble (wait staff could answer detailed questions without going to the kitchen), and very attentive (without being a nuisance).
Pros: Flawless vegetables, Great desserts, Wonderful staff
Cons: Short menu, Small tables

The food was very good as always.but, in what seems to be a trend, the service was HORRIBLE...usually they are a little slow...but this was ridiculous. It took 45 minutes to get 3 salads and about 2 hours to get our main course. We asked to speak with a manager or host and were told, "We don't have a manager or host"...which was an outright lie considering the lady that has acted as the manager/host in the past was in the restaurant...but stayed away from the customers for most of the night. I worked in the restaurant industry...they should have at the very least offered to comp. something on our bill...or at least had the non-existent manager apologize.The service was completely unacceptable and very unprofessional. If you want a tasty meal and have no problems waiting 2 hours to get it...211 York is your place...otherwise I recommend dining elsewhere...
