"Had my first dinner here a few weeks back, after years of having it on my to-try list. We had an unusual experience, but ultimately a very good one. We arrived around 5:30pm with the hope of having drinks/dinner at the bar, and though all seats were full, we were first on the wait list. Not to worry, we ordered the Double Standard and the Assassin 's Handbook cocktails (delish) and started our wait. Through a series of unplanned and unforeseen coincidences (too long to elaborate here), we ended up not being able to sit until 7:40, and even then it was only 1 seat, and we finally both sat around 8pm. Through the wait, the bartenders and kitchen made us feel very seen and cared for, which is exactly what I was expecting from the best restaurant in the country (they nailed it). Some of the food we really liked were the shrimp cocktail, chicken liver mousse, the fish, and the pasta. Can 't wait to go back and try a proper meal!!"
